Most hobbyists aren't artists and nor have the money to pay one. Either
the widget set forces me to comply to certain style guides (made by/with artits)
or the result may be as ugly as qmlreddit.

In many cases i don't want that power. I don't want to code every widget
myself. Often i just want to focus on functionality, not on eye candy. 

It's great that qml allows people to focus on eye candy, but there are
also many valid reasons not to want to do everything yourself. People like the
author of qmlreddit amd me obviously have a use for the skills of the widget 
designer.

Let me say it one more (last) time: I don't want to tell you that qml is
bad or useless or whatever. I just want to tell you that there's still reason 
and
demand for this 1984 technology as Kate called it. Believe me or not: I am
such a person. I have a need for a rich widget set that allows me to choose
from a big established set of UI elements rather then re-design everything
from scratch. Qml is nice, but that doesn't mean qwidgets are useless. They
are just different things and there's a use case for both of them.
