I barely had 1 in the past year and a big rise on C# Xamarin and blazor are rising quickly, not that I like it, but that's the market aorund me in Montreal/Quebec start to look like lately. I also do work for a huge European cie that shifted to C# too. Only medical cie are sticking to it around me, since the cost of revalidation is too high. Might not be the case for everyone, but as a service cie that what we are seeing right now and that's sad.

Actually, medical device companies appear to be moving all new devices 
and projects away from Qt. I haven't worked on a single medical device 
using Qt in over 14 months. Right now it seems there are more OpenVMS 
contracts open in America and Qt medical device contracts. Almost as 
many HP-3000 contracts.

One large drone software project may drop Qt as well. It's come up. 
They've been using Qt, but Qt 6.x and the continual licensing FUD is 
major impediment. Talk of licensing QtCreator made an awful lot of 
people look for an open door.
