I also think that the whole Qt development is paying too much attention to the 
"mobile market" lately, since I consider it a "hyped movement" -- and 
"bubbles" like these tend to explode sooner or later. But that's how it always 
works... the good news, however, is that you are NOT forced to rewrite code 
when transtioning your C++ / desktop (widget-based) applications to Qt 5. The 
"porting" efforts are minimal, as already stated in other posts. So what's 
your point? I see QML as an alternative, and that's it.

Cheers, René
