Not speaking for Michael, but let me add that C++ is much easier to 
debug compared to QML, if you get a crash. We have nearly hundred 
backtraces in the Plasma bug tracker that point back to crashes in 
QtDeclarative, without a single clue where the crash comes from. For 
examples see bugs 328234, 332131, 331060, 333621, 333532, 333334, 
332995, or 332646 to cite only some fairly recent ones.

I am not blaming QML here, all those bugs are possibly caused by 
errors in Plasma itself, but the fact that you cannot see from the 
backtrace what caused the crash is a major concern for me.
