Been a long time. I was initially turned off by the event handling system of wx compared to the signals and slots of Gtk and Qt. > For me QtQuick and QML are a step backwards by some ten years when > it comes to development speed. > It's as much 'fun' as doing GUIs with HTML and JavaScript. > Unfortunately, The Qt Company refused to provide an API for QtQuick to > be able to use it without QML. > Anyway, desktop development has long moved out of their focus > (around 15 years ago when Nokia acquired Trolltech).

The Cura slicer is another example of a complete desktop app written in QtQuick which looks and feels quite nicely on all platforms. For me, more and more I need to be able to run on mobile as well as desktop. Qt, GTK, or wx are just not good fits when you need that kind of portability. But traditional Qt will be with us or decades yet. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
