This is certainly arguable.  For some, I guess coding in C++ is hard.  For 
others, it's as natural as breathing.

In fact, it leads to my particular issue: QML.  I waited a long time for Qt to 
reach a point where it was usable for mobile development, and I personally was 
disappointed with the declarative approach taken with QML.  Aside from being 
somewhat out of character for the framework, it seems to have been a divisive 
approach, creating a separation not only between interface and code, but 
between languages!  Jean-Michaël's point abovehighlights that.

I want to code mobile in a language I use on a daily basis for things other 
than just mobile.  I realize it is a great fit for some people, but 
unfortunately for me, QML isn't.  I've therefore had to turn my attention to 
Xamarin (especially now that it is integrated into Visual Studio).  I've never 
been much of a fan of C#, but it is certainly closer to C++ than QML.

(No QML flame wars, please.  I'm just expressing my personal situation, not 
saying that QML isn't useful for some people.)
