I do find some of these changes annoying, but not particularly life-threatening. The use of a Qt account to download pre-built binaries by not being allowed to press skip will be annoying, but realistically speaking how often are you doing that? If you need them for CI, then you should (in my small world) be downloading once and hosting them yourself. With regards to LTS binaries, it is unfortunate, but we’ll still be able to grab sources from Git and (hopefully) their download site to rebuild patch versions from source. The other note that sticks out is the cheaper license for the Device Creation kit. This is for embedded systems, not general applications which I haven’t seen anyone mention.
