I guess its upto the community to decide if they want to continue improve QtWidgets.

But personally I think in the long run even Desktop apps will use QML or more exact some kind of Widget set based on QML. The KDE team seems altready intrested to use QML in Plasma and also Ubuntu.

But i seems many is taking this as everything will be written in Javascript but that is not true! backends is still C++

some of todays drawbacks using QML:

Open GL in nextgen QML

QML widget on desktop

One more time, I don't want to use QML at all. I want to use plain Qt and don't want the added bloat of QML. This has nothing to do with if it's on desktop or handset. But it seems that Nokia are forcing you to use QML on handset, and possibly on desktop too, and that's what I don't like.
