New work on Qt and Creator was mostly regarding mobile/phone stuff. I don't think desktop Qt users care much if that work stops as long as Qt is going to be maintained. Given that development also includes community efforts, it doesn't look like Qt is going away. A hell of a lot of people use it, including KDE. So even if Nokia wanted to kill it off, it would be impossible. People are going to maintain it because they rely on it. And fortunately they can, because of its license. _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt.nokia.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
