Please do not post links to private bugs on public mailing lists. That is
not at all helpful.

You are substituting a didactic concept with metrics: Hiding information
for new users based on metrics samples from a different group of users is
not going to help new users.

I would greatly prefer having one good introduction to Qt featured on the
welcome. A proper tutorial, idealy even with a bit of interaction that you
can follow along in creator and that also explains how to get productive
with creator and surrounding tools.

Best Regards,
Tobias
