The idea that QML deprecates ui files is frankly utter rubbish. UI files offer many advantages over QML - decent widgets, keyboard navigation, stability, faster coding for the common case in non-mobile applications (to name just a few of them). There's nothing wrong with QML, there's also nothing wrong with UI files, they just serve different use cases.
