Did not look at trunk (or however the current SCM calls it) lately but
IIRC, Stellarium _does_ use QT. it does use it to achieve
platform-independence in some areas like path handling (think
boost::filesystem, but done wrong). Furthermore, we implement theme support
(think night mode) and generally GUI elements (think file picker, dialogs
in e.g. the configuration dialog and the other function key bound dialogs,
including the buttons in the StelBar).
So, while it is true that we do not use QT for rendering nor for audio --
since we do not do audio (pity BTW goto could use a wooshing sound ;) -- we
do use it to abstract away certain routine tasks.
Just as a sidenote for the curious reader!
Cheers,
