[Interest] The willy-nilly deletion of convenience methods (was: Mixing Commercial and Open...)

but the removal of toList(), toSet() & co.  is already a pain,
and we basically needed to add helper functions to keep our code readable.

Yes. These are good examples of "small convenient methods" that make (made) Qt containers stand apart (in the positive way)

Just to add my experience.


A big part of the Qt projects I have worked on, wouldn't qualify to be ported to Qt 6 right now because of missing modules.
Right now, I have only worked on migrating very small projects, so my experience is not representative,
but the removal of toList(), toSet() & co.  is already a pain, and we basically needed to add helper functions to keep our code readable.

My 2 cents

Benjamin
