[Interest] What don't you like about Qt?

[Xavier Bigand]

I am using Qt for my day job,

Our first difficulty with Qt is the release cycle that is really long and
the difficulty to test the futur versions.
As we often need the latest features or bug fixes, waiting 3-4 month isn't
possible, and some times we just implement our self features or use
workaround for bugs.
Alpha and Beta versions aren't accessible on the Qt maintenance tool that
we use, and compiling Qt from the source is to much work for every
platforms we use,...

We'll certainly don't use an Alpha or Beta version of Qt for production,
but it is interesting to be able to report bug on upcoming version as soon
as possible (especially for new features as Qt3D,...).

A great Thanks for all developers of Qt 😉
