Apps made with qt are mostly good but the engine sucks hard indeed. The programming is difficult, let's say compared to GTK, the SDK interface change totally every couple of years forcing apps to rewrite everything from scratch. Probably related to that, the documentation is splitted in an hundred places, often undecipherable between what is obsolete or for current version. Most parts of the framework are not really documented anyway, there is just automatically generated reference guide from the code that is missing most part that is needed. Like you have an option name, now what does it mean? What this option to be used for? It's hard to extend simply to bypass default behavior of the SDK that could be limiting. Let me not speak of the whole qml craziness and the qtuieditor... And the worse of it is that the license is (or was because I don't know recent evolution) totally shitty. Like free to use in that case and that case, and commercial in that case and that case. No one serious would like to build something on a private garden like that.
