[Qt-creator] Qt Creator and generic projects

[kai.koehne at nokia.com]

People,

calm down a little. I myself felt somewhat attacked by Danny's mail ... the problem at hand has been discussed at great length already on this list, and his mail did seem to have no other purpose than ranting. Yes, qmake is under-documented. Yes, .pro.user & session files cannot really be shared, which some of us would like to do. But we (as the core developers) have other things on the plate too, and in fact things that have a higher priority. That's life. But I'm with Daniel in the regard that bringing this up again and again, and in the form of a rant, doesn't help anyone.

Is this the official Nokia response Daniel?  Because Danny Price is
correct - the current session scheme/.user files is *useless* in a
team environment.  The only way to make projects work that contain
multiple libs and build steps is to hack the .pro file, a mechanism
that is both poorly documented and poorly understood.  I tell my team
to avoid the Project tab because the settings within cannot be shared
- a serious problem for us developers trying to get a job done.

As a real-world user of your product I am shocked and saddened by your
aggressive response.  You should listen to our complaints instead of
dismissing them as 'wrong' and 'stupid'.

I'd go as far to say that I think you owe Danny an apology.
