Qt, or whatever, isn't pretty enough for the designers.

I'm more familiar with GTK, but can't you still make it look like anything you want pixel perfect?

I think the real issue is you can't bring all of your javascript/html/css libraries and tooling over.

I think you're correct.

This is a total non issue with Qt Quick, but I think complete UI look control is a waste of time and effort. It’s wheel reinvention where light brand accents would suffice.

Qt and Juce can be customized to look however someone wants. I don't think it is really so difficult to make images for buttons, change palettes and make sure everything is anti-aliased.

To me QT apps look like they came out of some old code base with old UI and web apps look more appealing imo.

How easy is it these days to create web, smartphone and tablet-UIs with Qt and those other frameworks? Cross platform is not limited to desktop anymore.

Both Qt and Juce emphasize mobile UIs heavily.
