To me, Qt Creator seems more similar to Android Studio than Visual Studio. The GUI creator for VB was effectively MS Paint for widgets. QML has a layout system, data binding and loads of other great features that are a godsend for 'proper' apps, but are hard to avoid for the 'buttons, inputs and hot glue' approach I remember from my VB days. GNOME Builder seems to be one step closer to VB in that regard, but I've only done a bit of testing with it.
