LOL Qt is not a magic fairyland castle full of fat-fingered, fair princesses. It's a toolkit, and can do as much good (or bad) as GTK if the designer doesn't do a good job.

A stylus is always needed for certain input modes. That some people don't care about these modes is relevant, but so is the fact that some people do. These aren't all unprofitable use cases/market segments, either. For example, for a portable computer to really capture the asian market, it needs to support stylus input.

God: i never figured you for such a trite little troll. I liked you better when you were burning cities and turning people to salt.
