However, I still don't see the point of avoiding QSS because it seems to be able to do everything CSS can (besides transformations, which are the only difference that I've been able to find so far).
Sorry but then you're not looking very hard. Look at e.g. [1].Just from a quick scroll-through, I find a lot of stuff QSS has never heard about, such as animations, box-shadow, caret-color, clipping, filter, float, advanced font options, text transform, text shadow, media queries, blend mode, overflow, perspective, transitions, n-th-child selectors, in general half the selectors, all CSS functions, before/after content, etc etc etc.
But that's not even the problem. The problem is that QSS is not a style by itself, it is applied *on top of* a style such as Fusion, and does *not* give you full control over that style.
So what do you even want to achieve?Do you want a fully customizable style? QSS isn't, it's not even *a* style to begin with.
Do you want to apply some customization while preserving the base looks of whatever style the user has configured? Then QSS is a nice thing but unless you limit yourself to really basic stuff (mainly colors) some widgets will look weird or broken in some base styles, or in some applications. They might even break with colors alone, simply from the fact that a style sheet is set at all.
I suggest we stop discussing this here at this point, I don't think it's very productive. I'd recommend you try to make a complete style changing appearance of all widgets (especially the more funky stuff: scrollbars, checkable combo boxes, progress bars, tool buttons with dropdowns, checkable menu items with icons, tree view items, ...) as you want them to look like with QSS, and open a few complicated applications (krita, dolphin, kdevelop, gwenview, the KDE file dialogs) with that style. I recommend a dark style, it tends to make problems more obvious. Try to make it perfect, like you'd actually want it to look like, not a prototype. I hope this experience helps you understand the concerns raised here. And if not -- well, maybe people here are wrong and this idea will fly after all ;)
