I, for one, never download the default installer since it was always subtly broken in one fashion or another, I always build from source. So now, the genius responsible for this is also responsible for wasting tons of bandwidth for useless downloads, and for wasting 20MB *repeatedly* off of my 1GB monthly mobile plan. Thank you very much (NOT).

This is form over substance at its finest. I like modern designs, but they must be actually usable. qt.io right now is like a very well manicured pig (with apologies to bacon).

Why so hostile?
Please try to give constructive feedback to those making the site.
