An all encompassing framework is useful if you want cross platform - you can still have Createfile(Handle) fopen(FILE*) if you want with a bunch of #ifdefs. Most of it's own collection classes have been replaced with std:: versions. There is still QString but it does a lot more than std::string, especially if you need to be multi-lingual Signals/slots I like more than the boost equivalents. The multithreading probably is better in c++11
