>The recent Electron situation (needed on one hand, loathed on the other hand) is a unique opportunity for Qt to gain (back) some developer mind share, but to avoid alienating web developers with scary C++ stuff it would help to decouple QtCreator from the Qt C++ API
For me it's exactly the other way around. If I'm using Qt it's because I want to use C++ to make my app as efficient as possible in terms of CPU and memory usage. Now that JavaScript is in the picture, I'm less likely to consider Qt for a cross platform app because I can just as well use any of the other more popular options like Electron or ReactNative.
Qt used to be a C++ GUI framework. Rebranding it as something else won't work. They won't get the web crowd and they will alienate people who want to avoid web technology.
