Well this is actually not a choice - we  did it in QML and ended up with 
a disappointing performance, because of QML. And we did it exactly like 
you recommend - we simply have a lot of UI.

In case of the animations QML offers a compact syntax to access a library 
of C++ classes mostly setting up a QPropertyAnimation. Using similar ( or 
even the same ) classes from C++ is not uncomfortable either.

My experience so far is, that using Qt/Quick from C++ does not have to be 
that different from writing a widget application: creating controls, 
setting up signal/slot connections and arranging them into layouts.

The graphic stack behind is irrelevant for the vast majority of the 
application code and I disagree with Thiago, that it is not possible to 
implement controls with a similar API as their widget counterparts.
