"ten thousands of companies have built fantastic products with it"(LGPL Qt) -- any data to back this up? I doubt it myself.
the license mess at Qt is why I never touched it over the years.
- dubcanada 2y agoDoubt what? QT is very popular. Just look at video game launchers, Battle.net, EA Origins, all use it. VLC, teamviewer, telegram, tesla UI, etc all use it. I can list about 100 different apps without even trying.
- anthk 2y agoGoogle Earth (sadly propietary), and I wish KDE/QT Marble had bindings to display Street View data as 3D projections. Also, Virtualbox...

- nabla9 2y agoQt is amazing business. Somebody is buying. Double digit growth rate year after year. - €200M net sales - 1.5M developers, - 3,500 commercial customers = €150 per developer/year = €60,000 per customer/year - €2.2B market cap.
- nottorp 2y agoWell, it's easy when you're the only decent [1] cross platform UI library left on the face of the earth that does not instantiate a browser. Also the only option to get a lot of infrastructure pre done for embedded projects. [1] My friends who still do Qt whine occasionally about quality going down, but it's not like they have other options.

- joezydeco 2y agoI used to look down on Crank like it was the next coming of Flash Lite, but after finishing a project in QML and realizing most of the heavy lifting was connecting the Javascript components to business logic C++ code running underneath through their clunky interface methods... it's pretty much the same thing. And I bet Crank will actually run on a Cortex-M3.
- not_the_fda 2y agoCrank doesn't scale. The project is a binary file. You can't have multiple people developing screens. Its fine for small projects, anything big and it falls apart.

- bigfatkitten 2y ago"Someone" in this case is almost the entire automotive industry, among others.
- synergy20 2y agowhich could be overtaken by AAOS(android auto) down the road?
- bigfatkitten 2y agoFor infotainment certainly, maybe not for instrument clusters, especially in base model or commercial vehicles.
