I understand that sentiment. What I was saying is that I want to bring that
ease of making applications to the desktop too. Not because I think mobile UIs
are better (or worse, they are just different), but because I've seen how
productive people are with QML.

Don't mix things. No one said desktop support is Done. The QWidget
infrastructure is Done. By equating the two, you're saying there can never be
anything other than widgets for the desktop. And I disagree.

So if it comes with a Digia-supported Desktop Components, you won't be happy?
Stop thinking about Nokia terms. What's important is that the technology
exists and someone is backing it up.
And no, the technology isn't there yet and won't be there for 5.0. Maybe not
even 5.1. But we want it to be there, eventually. I also get that you won't be
joining the development.
Maybe you'll volunteer to maintain the widget classes and bring it back up
from Done to Maintained?
