I think c++ (and qml to some extent) scares people vs. JavaScript, where you have thousands of libs for every situation to back you up

You can write it in Python is you're scared of C++. QML let's you inline JavaScript, or call it from a file.

Qt comes with 5, 000 classes for every situation to back you up, before you need to go to the community.

I think that a lot of developers are simply scared of it, without just cause. They believe rumours, without ever actually trying to use the thing. They don't evaluate first.

pyside and pyqt4 both take away a lot from the power of qt. Not worth it if you ask me.
