[Qt-interest] what is QML all about?

[nobodyhere]

I have nothing against QML.  And I am curious about how QML relates to WPF.   And how QML can enhance GUIs.  And how Qt will be used for Symbian, or mobile.

Though my biggest personal hope for Qt is for further improving the desktop GUI, and the extent to which it is very native and correct by HIG's (especially Mac OS X, since that seems to be the most difficult?).  But my impression is that the biggest demand for Qt is for the GUI in cross platform desktop applications, and wanting standard native GUI widgets (dialogs, buttons, text boxes, menus, etc).

Have you ever heard that you can't please everyone?

We do, for one, a release that focuses on bugfixing and stability, with a 
shorter release cycle than previously. EVERY single Developer Days that I have 
attended, people ask us to work on bugfixes and stability, not features.

So now we do it and people complain that there are no features.

Oh, well, you can't please everyone.
