.NET = compiler and runtime (JIT).

QT = UI library.

What did you write your back-end code with? C++ ?

(You mentioned that the Mac version is written in Swift, but what about the Windows and Linux versions)?

Qt is more than a UI library, it abstracts away the platform too, from networking, to disk access, to UI. Think of it as an analogue to Chromium more than just UI.

It can abstract away from the platform.

You can use it as a simple gui library just fine. I've been using it in place of Tk for my python stuff for a while now. (Qt.py is a lifesaver) I haven't even tried their options for what I want to do yet, but it is definitely tempting.

Here's a good list of things Qt has stuff for.

Oh no! Why then Qt is all over my server code?!

Seriously I thought QT was just a UI library. I stand corrected.

Where do you fit Qt's support for networking, SQL databases, standard directory structures, multithreading, etc... ?
