What are the pros and cons of Qt?

Question

Qt

I want to switch to Qt. Tell me the pros and cons...

Answer 1

Pros:
- easy window riveting
- cross-platform
- quite a lot of all sorts of convenient classes (network, strings, etc.)
- slots and signals
Cons:
- application size will be quite large

Answer 2

Advantages: -
Convenient inter-process communication (signals/slots). Although they say with the advent of C ++ 11 it is not relevant.
-An abundance of everything and everything - here you have containers and strings and algorithms and GUI. (It's still a full-fledged framework).
-Low barrier to entry.
- Portability at the source code level. (Windows, Linux, Mac, QNX, Android, IOS, WinRT are at your service here)
- Actively developing.
-Has not a bad IDE, sharpened just for him.
-Good documentation.
-Lots of examples.
Disadvantages:
-Large application weight. (libraries, depending on what you use, will weigh from 15 MB or more. Especially bad for mobile platforms).
Some jambs with deployment under Windows (and with compilation, by the way, too).
-Under android it is necessary to put Ministro. A lot of articles say that it is necessary to install the miniro (this is the horn that downloads the Qt libraries), but they don’t mention anywhere that you can do without it. (All used libraries can be included in .APK.
-Low threshold of entry.
-It is difficult to find examples for non-standard cases.

Answer 3

Cons: the relative complexity of distributing applications for Windows (for a free license): there are non-obvious moments with plugins.
