[Qt-interest] Qt Creator is too limited. We need a comprehensive IDE?

I completely agree with this. Eclipse is a horrible, slow IDE and 
qt-creator beats it hands down. The fact that it's native to each 
platform is just fantastic, virtual machines are awful.

As for Code::Blocks, this doesn't work well with Qt at all. I tried and 
failed to get it working and the forum told me to go away (only far less 
politely) when I asked for assistance in knitting Qt into it.

Compare that to qt-creator which is so incredibly easy and intuitive to 
use.

Many thanks indeed to Trolltech and Nokia, it's an outstanding bit of 
software.
