[Qt-qml] please help me decide if qml is the right solution for my project

[Ganshorn Thomas]

Another question is how would i handle things like pie charts and other 
diagrams.
I assume there is only the way to implement them as separate declarative 
items ?

For the shader support ... well it is a gimmick but i think it is useless.
I never wrote shaders and if i had to learn it it would take quite a while.
Thinking that an artist should write shaders is just ridiculous.
In fact even javascript is to complex for most artists
  (and i work with them in may daytime job every single day).


For styling i see that i need some more thoughts about how to 
encapsulate the different parts than i hoped i had to.
Sorry i am accustomed to html  where in the html file i define my 
elements and assign the functionality by calling simple javascript 
actions like
"makeSlider ( id )", in the js file the logik and the css file handles 
the look.
especially separating ui logic and look is something i really learned to 
like the last years.
It looks for me right now that here the ui logic and ui look is to much 
entangled out of the box for my oppinion.
Especially if i look at the artists i know qml would be way to much for 
them and a 100% separation
between visual layout and functionality is really necessary.

Ok i need to wrap my mind around it and try to find the "way" to go for me.
