Yes, they are artists. They just need minimal programming skills to
provide a good prototype. The quality of their source code is
irrelevant since in a real product the final code would be
reviewed/rewritten by real developers.
The advantage here, is that they work with final technology and they
are bounded to its limitation. Their widgets/screens could be used
temporarily during the application development so the developers could
focus on the critical parts letting the UI refinements/optimizations
for later stage.

I think a QML API for Qwt would be great. Recently I had to create QML
widgets for Histograms and PieCharts in a desktop project. If a
library was already provided I would use it.
