This mass-deployment is the use case that concerns me most of all. I have 45 developers and numerous build agents who should all have Qt installed to build our software, but at best 3 have actually used Qt / done Qt UI work. And now I'm the bad guy because I enabled the adoption of Qt. (sure, I can manually unzip Qt on all machines, and whilst I'm there I can just configure the Visual Studio plugin for Qt too...)
