Since Qt Quick is not a replacement for Qt Widgets, Qt Quick Designer can not really be considered a replacement for Qt ['Widgets'] Designer. It is a different tool to handle a similar task for a different technology, like using a screwdriver to 'drive in' screws and a hammer to 'drive in' nails. While there is a large overlap in the 'drive in' activity, and quite some overlap of the result ('connect things') it's not really prudent to use a hammer to drive in screws (yes, it 'works'...) or to use a screwdriver to drive in nails. > But if anyone feels like fixing any annoying usability issues in the > old designer, patches are welcome.
