Qt is great and I get disappointed that the discussions surrounding it often devolve into nitpicking the pricing and licensing terms. Seems people are less willing to pay for high quality tools these days.

On the technical side, the qt quick desktop styling is intriguing. My main use case for Qt is for desktop applications and while qt quick is often recommended I usually go for qwidgets instead. 9/10 times I need a traditional interface with menu bars, forms and tables. While qt quick lets me make nice looking UI, I often need something that just works similarly to how a traditional desktop application works, looks be damned. Im curious if they'll manage to close that gap in qt6 but I'm skeptical which means I'll probably stay on widgets for the foreseeable future.
