I might agree with you on that point, Scott.  However, going back to the
original post, I am concerned about Qt's "desktop" support.  No matter how
long you live, you will never see a special-effects-laden television show or
movie produced exclusively using a $.99 "App" on some $300 mobile hardware. 
It won't ever happen.  They will always be using high-performance desktop
applications running on incredibly expensive, stand-alone computer systems. 
And this is only one example.

These traditional types of "desktop" applications need a toolkit as well.  If
it's not Qt, that's fine.  I'd just rather it would be.  :)
