Re: [Interest] What don't you like about Qt?

2016-10-03 Thread andy fillebrown
I was hired on to my new job because of my Qt4 experience, and my first QML related task was to convert a list view to a editable tree view with drag and drop. It was not a good experience. The TreeView control provided in Qt was full of bugs and I ended up pulling its private C++ model adaptor

Given the complexity of all the moving parts involved, I'm amazed at how easy it was to get it running again, so I want to give a huge Thank You to all the developers. Thanks! ~ Andy

It is also good to remember that if one person is saying it then ten others are thinking it. I, too, am not happy with the dependencies added for Qt 5, and I have not been happy about it for some time. I've bit my tongue about it because I don't consider my opinion on the matter all that
