OK, 'legal c++' was a stretch - I take that back. I absolutely stand by the point that it's not reasonable to expect non-Qt tools to work as well as QtCreator on Qt-heavy projects. You don't explicitly say so, but your answer suggests that your project uses Qt heavily. QtCreator is great for Qt projects - fine. That doesn't say much about it in general though. Other IDEs handling a Qt-heavy project less well than QtCreator says nothing about them other than that they can afford to ignore Qt. Thanks for the link to verdigris. It's certainly less offensive than Moc, but if you're forced to use Qt you may as well use Moc.
