[Interest] Using Widgets for new projects

[Jérôme Godbout]

We went down the Qml road for 3D CAD application and it's doable, you only
need to make a good 3D render to texture view elements until the 3D can
catch up. With Canvas and render to a texture I don't see any real
limitation. Maybe the boilers plate is increase compare to QWidgets but
still doable.

The speed at which you design and create GUI element with animation is
great with Qml. My main complain is more around all the small function you
have to create (matrix4x4, quaternion exposition have so few method for
example, you need to rotate a vector3d with a quaternion and the like,
there is a lot of missing pieces, that will probably make it one day).

You can take a look at our web site:

We did quiet a few super component with Qml like puck menu, dynmic side
drawer that expend with mouse hover where you can store any Qml Items and
auto resize itself and can be anchors on any side of the screen, 2D/3D
length/angles measurements with Canvas. A lot of the UI element are
draggable and/or drag n drop between 2D/3D elements (required us to make
some event convertion).

If we ever need to port one of our application to mobile, we will be able
to do it. If they ever make Qml for the web bridge that would be awsome for
us.

I don't say all desktop application should be done into Qml, but just that
it's doable into Qml no matter the application you have.
