The guy didn't mention quality once though. Just lowest price and quickest deadline.

That can be said of any modern framework. Qt doesn't always equate to quality products. In fact, I've been clamoring to find awesome Qt examples that make me a believer.

I'm still looking. Parts of VLC, Skype and WebOS were Qt. Great. But what I see are better C++ coders that used Qt better than the current crop of anything on the N9 or WeTab.

Qt Quick falls under the same category as Adobe AIR, unfortunately. Especially if you're using prebuilt components via Flex SDK and the like.
