Yes we are also using it on some embedded projects along with some custom 
stylesheets.

Having said that we are now evaluating QtQuick and qml because as you say 
embedded UI's do often need pixel perfect placement which although not 
impossible with the standard widget/layout approach can take some practice.

Qt-creator also ships with an experimental qml design plugin which kind of a 
qml equivalent of designer. I recommend you give it a try.

Some things that would make creating normal QWidget type interfaces with more 
bling are animated transitions between layout (for which I believe some code 
does exist but is not in Qt (yet)) and anchor layouts for widgets (at the 
moment they are for QGraphicsItems only).

ATB,

Sean
