Strongly disagree with the "Qt 'tools' should use QML more". QML and Widgets are strong at different things, the tools are relatively clear cases of the things that Widgets are better at. There is no point in shoehorning QML into them just so they use QML, which is optimized for different things.
- rat9988 4y agoWhat are QML and QWdiget better at then?
- account42 4y agoQML is a good fit for fullscreen touch interfaces or video displays. Also simple game - complex ones are probably better off not using Qt at all. QWidget is the "old" desktop UI toolkit that is good for desktop UIs.
- rubymamis 4y agoQt Quick is catching up with QWidgets. While still some way to go, I agree with the OP that it will align incentives for them to improve edge cases of features that exist in QWidgets but lacking in Qt Quick.
- bluGill 4y agoQWidgets look and act like a desktop application. QML looks and acts like a touch screen application. The two use cases are very different. A touch screen application doesn't work well on a keyboard/mouse environment. A keyboard/mouse application doesn't work well on a touch screen.
- EntrePrescott 4y agoThe Widgets are easier to work with for pure desktop apps… but they are limited to that purpose. Qt Quick and QML are better for pretty much any application use case that isn't the classic desktop. Especially any form of app for mobile or embedded devices.
