Hi Stuart,

Trying to keep my hands off this discussion :-) but just one quick note:

This is actually quite an important point. I've worked with Qt a bit
myself, but it was a couple of years ago, when the version upgrade at
the time was from Qt 2 to Qt 3...

Qt does quite a bunch of things that simplifies developing
professional C++ applications, actually. As you're saying, it is a bit
like what the STD libs should have been. And, I'd like to state (from
someone who has been working more on Windows than Linux for the last
couple of years; this has NOT been the case previously, just so you
all know...), it is also a bit of a "predecessor" of the .NET
Framework, if you like...
