(#20640112)
The KDE desktop shell is QML + C++. The vast majority of KDE applications are QWidgets + C++ without QML.
I like QML but it's not that great for many / most desktop applications. It works better for creating fully custom touch UIs from scratch. The plan for Qt 6 mentions a styling API which is one of the most important missing pieces, and discussion in the comments maybe indicates more ready to use controls.
