Cool! It's really nice to see that you are genuinely interested in your
users.

Yes, I currently use it in an embedded project with the Qt Creator
"bare metal" plugin and the arm-none-eabi GCC toolchain.
Also tried to use it with other projects, but on each attempt there was
always an issue that kept us back.

If I recall correctly, one of the main pain points was support for 3rd
party libraries in a cross-platform way. One of my collegaues hit a
wall with this when he tried to switch his project to QBS.
I personally prefer QBS to qmake because it is more flexible and the
syntax is friendlier. Also the fact that it parallelizes builds by
default is great. I hope it will soon be adopted as the default
solution.
Thanks & best regards,
Tim
