With QWidgets yes. QML is the reason I would not want to start a new app in JS/Electron

QtCreator is easily the best c++ in town.

- dkersten 6y agoC++ Builder costs €1500 for the first year though and the community edition limits you to no more than €5k revenue, while Qt Creator is completely free and open source. So I don’t really see them in the same category, personally.
