I know how you feel. And I started with 0.4 :)

However, since 5.3 it's improved a lot. QML is still buggy to a point 
where it's quality is way lower than the rest of the system. But Qt 
itself (for widget based applications) in 5.3 and 5.4 is IMHO almost as 
good as 4.8. IIRC, I think it was around version 4.3 or 4.4 before I 
started to really push Qt 4 to my customers. Qt 5 is following in much 
the same curve, although the changes from 4 to 5 were less disruptive 
than from 3 to 4 so the comparison might not be fair.

I think Qt Company is doing a good job of improving the 5 series one 
release after another.
