Qt 5 should be the foundation for a new way of developing applications.

The vision is great when we talk about technologies of the same "level" (QWidgets vs QML) and if this discussion was about QWidgets I would understand your point.
Right. And - to maybe cover Bjørn's concern - such GUI-less applications are not necessarily completely separate from the GUI. Looking at a complex system like the KDE desktop or semi-complex standalone application's you'll find a set of tools (command line helper tools, daemons) complementing the GUI. I'm seeing this every scenario every day with application's from customers and our own. The split done in Qt 4 was a good thing and shouldn't be reversed imo.
