A year? LOL. 1 year is the age of the newest unresolved issue I have. Most of them are many years old, including multiple issues dated 2012. > Raise your hands. > > How many of you have bugs reported against earlier versions of Qt that sat > open until > they were closed as being against an unsupported version? Actually this did not happen to me as far as I can remember. LOL! Probably because most of my unresolved issue are rotting in the issue tracker as "Reported" and are ignored forever. > How many of you have had to scrap products or features because bugs you > reported were > blockers and they were just rotting in the bug database?

I have seen larger companies that insisted in "Open Source" for critical components - still with the full, the reliably commercial support you are talking about. I think you are mixing "Open Source" and "Community driven" here. > That QML stuff really has to be ripped out and put into its own commercial > package so > the rest of the world doesn't have to pay the heavy price. +1 > The Wolfe oven needed a stacked widget, not a state machine.

I have seen software using state machines without urgend need. But I have never seen a software that failed *due to* using state machines (at least not when fully understood). > Roughly half of my bugs reported via the forum are fixed within a couple of > days.
