and I think this is the most important difference in ones opinion about 
QtCreator. If I remember correctly, its developers, at the very 
beginning, stated that they wanted to develop a lightweight IDE that is 
more a fancy text editor and, therefore, keeps out of your way.

I personally find it much more convenient to use than lets say 
VisualStudio or Eclipse (for me personally a totally overloaded IDE, 
just look at the right click menu). Than again, I currently develop 
using Kate (a 'simple' text editor) so my opinion is biased.

However, there, are some annoyances: for me the biggest is refactoring 
in VI mode (the most important feature of an editor ever! :) ), which 
got a lot better but its still not as good as without VI mode enabled. 

Also c++11 'auto' is confusing the IDE, but that might have changed 
recently.
