In fact this is not a good example as the code for displaying charts is 
usually QPainter ( or QGView ) based - and doesn't rely on QWidget much. 
As long as there is the bridge between QPainter and the scene graph 
there is not much code that would be lost. Binding this code to QML is a 
different story, but why should someone do this ?

Much more important is all the code, that has been written to modify the 
standard Qt widgets by overloading/reimplementing virtual methods or 
extending/tailoring the API for the specific requirements of the 
project. Any larger project I have seen implements such widget libraries.

Even if meant ironic: when you believe in a new technology let it compete by making it possible to co-exist.
