Hmmm..

Just this year is when they flushed Qt. That's what the people working 
there tell me.

The reality Vlad is that companies are dumping Qt wholesale.

Even Jason's company, you remember Jason right? QML's biggest, and 
possibly __only__, fan. Even his company dumped Qt. The medical device 
clients I've worked for have also dumped Qt.

It isn't the FUD that is obsolete, just the management of Qt.
