[Qt-interest] Is Qt the best choice for cross-platform desktop GUI applications? Mac OS X (Cocoa, Aqua)? KDE, GNOME, Windows 7

It does bitmaps too.
Though I am sure the 2d-rendering could pose problems. It could be a simple fix though, via a QGraphicsScriptItem which would allow HTML5 drawing commands to be carried out on a QGraphicsItem. If Safari supports it, does Qt's Webkit do too?

Resembles? I don't mean this offensively in any way - however, my impression from reading Canvas code samples is that it's just a paint surface - not an object-based display widget. E.g. you paint frames onto the canvas, whereas with QGraphicsView you put objects in the view that render themselves. Or am I off base here?
