I thought the KDE dudes were already testing it against Qt 5. Anyone
on this list in a position to comment as to the current state of
things?

In any case, KDE 5 should clearly not re-invent the wheel, and Qt 4 ->
Qt 5 and not the same as Qt 3 -> Qt 4, which is the fear this kind of
mail evokes.

Many KDE apps will continue to be widget based, some might migrate to
QML if it is appropriate, or proves to be the correct technology in
the coming years. Of course, desktop components when they land will
push QML increasingly into the zone of widgets in the grand Venn
diagram.

Cheers,
Donald
