Its a great overall look, but I'd like to add some details to the Qt parts.
* he reviewed the QtWidget parts, and the designer for such. This is by now 15 years old tech that has not seen any new development for years. He didn't look at the QtQuick and QtComponents parts which people use now.
* He writes: «You can always buy a commercial license that gives you the rights to statically link your application but it comes with a hefty price.».
This seems an emotional conclusion. First, most people don't actually require to statically link their apps. So this is only required for a small subset of users. Shipping your app on mobile, for instance, can be done with the open source version just fine. I think it helps to actually ask the sales team a price instead of concluding it has a heafty price. Compared to visual studio it actually is cheaper, last I checked...
* «Chart components are missing.»
Actually, there are several. Including 3rd party ones.
* he first states that QML allows one to use Javascript as a con, and then continues in his next line saying it is not nice to have to use C++. I think thats unfair. You can write your entire app in Javascript or C++. You can mix them. Your choice.
This are add-ons. Like NPM can be seen as a bunch of add-ons to Node. Complaining about the ecosystem being diverse doesn't really sound like a negative to me...
