What I was pointing out is that with Qt, nearly all the cons of C++ are eliminated. You don't have to work to do cross-platform, you don't have the garbage collection issues, you don't have to deal with half-thought-out STL methods, and you get a huge amount of mature classes with elegant binding through moc, not to mention the new dev tools. And now since it's LGPL, you don't have to pay to make a product with it.
I get your point now!
