[Qt-interest] Anyone using Qt Designer in embedded projects?

...thats about it, is anyone using it?

Any thoughts appreciated.

My personal feeling after a few months of using it is that it is more bother
and than it is worth.

Embedded user interfaces tend not to fit so well to the standard widgets,
require pixel perfect positioning, are very dynamic, and the effort to
support custom widgets in the Designer so that the UI expert can
drag widgets around is away from the other project tasks.

Cut/copy/paste/search/replace work so much better at code (or any
text, say xml) level that using an interactive GUI editor.

Not to mention macros and defines and such.
