How is it easier to use than QVector?

I will grand you two: QList is two characters less to type than QVector, 
so QList has the definite advantage there. Other than that, now that the 
API is basicaly synchronized, I don't see much benefit in QList over 
QVector. And 2) that Qt's own API often returns a QList and not a 
QVector... Perhaps QList needs to implicitly convert to a QVector so it 
become easier to make the transition in user code? Then, if Qt itself 
changes its API in Qt 6 to use QVector instead of QList, the users' code 
will just work :-)
