Why I Write Games in C

In my opinion, with which many will probably disagree, there's nothing wrong with using STL containers in moderation if you approach it right. std::vector is good enough and fast enough in most cases if you reserve space and are judicious with allocations.

Maybe, but personally I think STL syntax is horribly ugly and not easy to read or work with, whereas Qt (at least to me) is much easier to parse, in addition to offering a lot more functionality and flexibility. (Qt has a lot more container types, for instance.)

I can't deny that - C++ templating is just plain ugly.
