What I don't like right now about Qt is the 3-legged arthritic dog

Actually, the entire industry is moving to declarative. React+JSX is the most recent
example. If you want the first example, I think it was XUL, the layout engine for Mozilla
("Seamonkey"? about 15 years ago) and since then it's been attempted in various
places (Even MS). FWIW, I think Qt's implementation of declarative is hands-down the best
implementation, and I don't think it can be beat. And that's me, an old QWidget guy since
2004.
Actually, none of the "industry" is moving to declarative languages.
Industry being embedded devices without GPU, having 512Meg or less of
RAM needing to achieve 10 days active battery life (not 10 hours standby)
