Frank: I agree with most of what you wrote. I have used the master branch to build Creator from source for a while now, and have to regrets in that regard. Yes, sometimes that have forced me to revamp my Qt installation, but at the end nothing I wouldn't have ended up doing sooner or later. QML? I looked into it, but found very little documentation, or actual examples of how that would help me create a useful GUI (I know the concept, but not how to apply that to my needs). I don't want anyone to take the previous statement as a critic. Everyone posting here probably have different needs, programming habits (and vices), and even preferred tools.
Nobody can keep everybody happy 100% of the time. You try that and will certainly sink sooner than later. I would actually take some comments as what I call "appraisals in disguise", as they indicate that people with a very wide range of interests, views, needs, and habits, have started to regard Creator as a tool they want to use, or that they have to de facto consider the new kid in the block. I remember a while back that when git first came out it cause something similar...I think that people should perhaps have a little more patience, and let the team do its work: everything looks simpler from the outside. When I have posted a question, a bug, or reported something weird going on, I have always received an answer in a very timely manner, either from the Trolls themselves, or some of the users in the community who have taken pity of my ignorance: thank you.
