Nowadays I work mostly in mobile space, but not exclusively.
Personally for me C & C++ support are essential, as those provide access
to a wealth of ready to use libraries, like libav, opencv, etc.
They also provide the required speed improvement when starting to polish
feature complete applications. I may do the prototype/first version in
javascript+QML and then move the hot spots to C++.
Good Python support in Qt is nice, although for mobile less interesting
right now because of startup cost (which QML+javascript also has to some
extent).
Btw. on recent poll javascript was not that popular, ~ equal to C and
C++ popularity together.

Python was the clear winner.
I find Qt Creator very good, I like it best from qtcreator, eclipse,
xcode, all of which I've been using.
Qt documentation is also top notch, better than Android, and easier to
access and search than Apple docs.
My 2 cents,
Harri
