Hm, this kind of confirms my impression: Quick is lightweight, simplified and suited for
embedded and touch. While widgets are more powerful and suited for complex desktops
applications. This makes me wonder even more why Qt gave up widgets. The logical
explanation is, Qt kind of gave up desktop.

You explained why the widgets concept is not compatible with the Quick concept. Can you
also explain why it was not possible to implement Quick as an additional, mostly widget-
independent C++ layer and then wrap it declaratively?
