Back when I wrote my "why oh why did you dump xforms" rant, it seemed like maybe the compile problems were just growing pains from Qt going from version 3 to version 4. But now it's years later, and we're still hearing (I paraphrase) "the quality of your LyX program depends on your Qt version." I know, you've told me before, Qt does a lot of busywork and makes programming LyX much simpler. It handles all the localization, etc. Programming LyX without Qt would be a horrendeous chore. But is Qt really doing you a favor when certain Qt versions make your program perform badly? The LyX developers work so hard to create a robust, high productivity program, only to have a tool vendor snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Isn't there another localization library you can use, and another GUI library, and whatever?
