Uhm... why? The UI layer - in the best case - is just a small part of the application and the entire business logic should be independent.

So having QML on mobile devices and Qt Widgets on desktops for me is not a point against "portability".

Qt offers so much more "non-UI" functionality these days which is cross-platform. So providing a complete (maybe "simplified") UI paradigm on a mobile platform, but which accesses the same (cross-platform) model is not a contradiction.

In fact I always get suspicious when people claim to have the same UI (even same code basis "with a few #ifdefs"!) on both desktop and mobile platforms: either it is a trivial application, or it "just does not feel right" on one platform.

Cheers,
