Well, it's also a matter of preference. But let's take another point
of view: how much resources, people, time, did it take to Nokia? how
much it costs? but above all, why to develop a new IDE? Samsung, for
instance, has shipped a new framework for their devices; did they need
a new, dedicated IDE? Has Android a custom IDE?
Qt Creator is just an example of how Nokia wanted to make (almost)
ALL, but without focusing on the most important target: Nokia phones.
