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

[Freddy Martinez Garcia]

Hi Nate, I’m a macOS user and I hate Windows, but right now I’m involve in
a big project developed with QML, Qt Widgets and C++ (because we have
various apps for desktop and mobile).

In Windows I only had problem with the compiler from Visual Studio, which
has a lot of problem with the compatibilities with C++11/14 and we must use
it because MinGW (how in my opinion is much more better) has not support
for Qt Web Engine.

What is your problem wit Qt 5.7 in Windows ? Just to know if I have the
same problem  my friend?

regards

Personally I don't mind to code in two languages. I would treat QML as an
interface builder language. (e.g the old .ui file or those xml files in
Android) But the hard problem is on the data sharing model between C++ and
QML/JS. QAbstractItemModel is an overkill solution. Many people may instead
chose QObjectListModel for sharing data. But I have too many bad experience
with it. It is too easy to crash and difficult to trace the problem.
