I have a love/hate relationship with qt. It is powerful, generally well-maintained, and I’ve compiled the same app to windows, linux, Mac, and arm, and a specific use case needing JNI on android.

It all just worked.

Their licensing got really goofy for a while, and yocto (which unfortunately I became a “SME” of at work) made cloning and using anything after 5.15.2 very obnoxious. They needed to figure out how to pull a RedHat and get paid support, but this was right around the time electron (at least for a while) rendered native apps as second-class citizens.

The bindings to other languages are neat, and the signal/slot idea is also neat. The whole moc part isn’t great, but I understand why, and it has very rarely caused me any real issues.
