Well, There are many discussions about forking Qt. I've been involved in some of them and probably the cause of others. Yes, it is due to the licensing and Qt Company's interpretation of the licensing. Under the last interpretation, if there is one licensed Qt product used in a project, developers w...

I haven't put pencil to paper on any details. When Nokia first proposed QML it was supposed to be a 4GL/script that was compiled by a MOC like process generating all of the C++ classes/headers. The concept was proposed at a time when the Designer was trashing XML for .ui files on a regular basis. Ev...

It's not so much long term support as long term viability. There is little point in jumping from Qt where API changes happen willy-nilly because someone saw something bright and shiny; to another framework where the same thing is happening. Frameworks need to be sacred like COBOL. I can still compil...

All, I apologize in advance as this will probably be long. I have been involved in many long rants on qt-interest mailing list about the lack of stability in the API and the continual Easter Egg hunt as each minor release seems to restructure at least a single header directory breaking builds wholes...
