I did not mention better or worse. It's different, and it is what you 
need to use to make full use of the GPU. If that is not needed for your 
usecase, widgets may suit your needs better. Great! There is nothing 
wrong with widgets if you ask me, and I think that there is still plenty 
of room for development there even if the official status is "done". But 
it is never going to be as performant graphically as Quick 2 is. As long 
as you ('all) are aware of its limitations, it's still a great and 
mature technology.
