Yep, I hear people keep repeating the mantra "QML is declarative. It's 
just QML/JS that isn't." Does that buy us anything tooling-wise? No. 
Because, even though this thought is true in essence, in practice you 
have to use the JS part.
   People throw handwritten QML files full of clever hacks at Qt 
Creator's QmlDesigner and wonder why it doesn't fully understand the 
magic, even though everything is deemed "declarative" (== "toolable").


BR,
