Hi,
Styling is obviously important, but at long as it's only skin-deep (ie
the full range
and feel of components is not there), it's going to lead to frustration
on the long
run. The downside of drawing/making your components (whether by the Qt team
or 3rd party devs) is that you're reimplementing all the work the
platform and UI
teams of Google, Apple, Microsoft etc are doing, with the fraction of
resources.
That's why it's always a catch-up and a "kindasorta" native look and
feel (which
is the same problem all the native-mimicking web frameworks are having).
