Who knows whether anyone is using it? There are zillions of projects using Qt 
out in the world, but the people developing Qt keep assuming that "using Qt" 
means using Qt inside Qt, as if the entire platform solely exists for building 
Qt on top of it. Like when the OpenGL QtPainter class was treated like a failed 
experiment for making QWidgets paint faster, even though it was public API and 
used in the real world.

I'm currently porting my Qt-based project, Krita, to Qt 6 and it's a huge, 
huge, huge pain. I'm wasting months and months that could have been spent on 
improving my application on submitting to useless clean-ups that nobody seems 
to have thought were an imposition. I've been through Qt1..2..3..4..5 and now 
going through 6.

Halla
