>From what I understood this is not true. The QML stuff will sit on the Scene Graph but QWidget continues using the old paint stack. It seems to be undecided if both graphic systems can be used in the same application. So when you want to stay with QWidget you won't have a problem. But people who want to use QML in general, but have to use QWidget for only one specific use case they might have lost. But as far as I understood you can use the scene graph from C++ too - what might be the solution to work around limitations of QML. We all remember what was wrong with how Qt4 was introduced and I honor, that the developers take care, that this happens again with Qt5. But what we can see this time seems to be the opposite: 2 completely different implementations for the same thing. But what does this mean for the future: Sooner or later you will find more functionality in QML components and you will find yourself in the situation that you have to use this world - or reimplement it in application code for QWidget. Another scenario I can imagine is, that QWidgets will become its own project maintained by people who are interested in it. Then we might see real competition between both solutions.
