"Done" still means people can design new applications using the functionality. So people can use Designer in 2013. We still support it and we need to, therefore, keep it working.

The problem does exist, but so does the solution and it's already in place. Therefore we don't need to do anything. That's why designer is not getting renamed. The Qt 5 version simply replaces the Qt 4 one and, provided the plugins are upgraded too, no functionality is lost. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center
