[Interest] QML disappointments

[Nishant Parashar]

Qt company belive that qml is the best thing that happened to qt. So many
years have passed and we still see this.

Reminds me of Nokia, they kept saying windows phone will succeed. Too late.

Problem is that unlike windows phone Qt has no serious compitition (well
wxwidgets is not that level). So Qt can live longer.

I miss  QWidget.
