I just want to punch some holes in your reasoning: 0. I agree that if you want to get native look you should use native tools but there is market for apps that don't have to look native (e.g. games). Actually I see bigger demand for custom looking apps. 0.a. Your screenshot is for pure Qt but Qt strength in mobile landscape is in Qt Quick. That includes writing UIs that adapts to different screen sizes and densities. It is actually sad that Qt Quick which is pure gold might be eliminated by HTML5. While I hope that open source nature of Qt will help here. We will see. 1. There are more platforms than Android and iOS. While those two make majority of smartphone market but why we should forget that they gained popularity in recent 5 years and might lose it in the next 5. While I doubt that this will happen but who knows. 2. Even if exclude older Android models we still have huge market left.
