Qt is an exceptional framework that offers developers a lot out of the box. One of the best aspects of Qt is its versatility and cross-platform capabilities. The most helpful feature of Qt is its extensive collection of ready-to-use widgets and tools, which significantly accelerates the development process. The framework comes with QML which speeds up GUI development significantly. The framework also provides a rich set of functionalities, including GUI, networking, database integration, and multimedia support, which simplifies the implementation of complex applications. Overall, the upsides of using Qt include its excellent documentation, a supportive community, and a vast ecosystem of third-party libraries and plugins, making it a reliable choice for building high-quality applications.

Qt's licensing model is a bit restrictive. While it offers a commercial license for proprietary applications, the open-source version (LGPL) requires dynamic linking, which may impose limitations on certain types of projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Qt Framework allows me to concentrate on developing the user-aligned features from the UI all the way down to the wire using a single code base and be able to deploy the solutions to all our different platforms with relative ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Qt is a vast framework covering a multitude of areas which to begin with, makes it a little daunting to get started with, but you soon realise that there's more than likely an API suitable for your requirements and most likely a worked example of how to do use them. Persistence is required but it does pay off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The multiplatform guarantee, the idiomatic API (almost) all round, the feeling it gives me to be a super-programmer, being able to integrate Https servers, concurrency, UI, in the same framework is empowering! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The size of the deployed libraries (in shared). The binary size of the static executables. Less "copy" api of re-implemented standard when available. (ex: QVector) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Based on C++, libraries well structured, well documented, works on many devices with one code base Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some concepts need to be understood otherwise the advantages will not be obvious, like the QObject, signal slot approach, and the model view solution Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Qt is a complex (visual and non-visual) multiplatform development framework, which allows you to develop your C++ in a fast and convenient manner. It contains not only the libraries but also a nice-looking integrated development environment called Qt Creator. Qt Creator helps you to create apps in a visual way (almost a what-you-see-is-what-you-get way), which is helpful when you are creating business applications like SFA, CRM, or ERP systems. QDataTable, QDataBrowser, and QDataView data-aware widgets (aka controls/components in Win32/VCL paradigm) are very advanced and easy to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The slots-and-signals system is not as much as stable and predictable as its analogs in the .Net and VCL framework, so you need to code more and test more, so your development will not be as fast as you can imagine. Also, cross-version compatibility is sometimes poor, so you should stay with your Qt (major) version as long as you can. The compiler is not reliable sometimes, and CI (continuous integration) tools integration is not as easy as it could be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Over the year's a lot of products have claimed to be multi-platform and none of them come close to Qt. Write it once, compile for the target using the platform compiler, the job is done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's a fantastic package, what's not to like? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Design application for multi platforms like windows,linux,maxis,web development, android .
Design 3d texture for gaming development.
Making installer facilities with all standard features like desktop shortcut, customized ui of setup pages Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The application size is enormous. Because of DLL size is high.
High space required by drive.
Would you please try to compress the library file?
I want to improve in Qt-related DLL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For me, the most killer feature of Qt Creator is that it its humble resource needs and lightning quick response. It never leaves me waiting for anything. It has consistently felt responsive and stable as long as I have been using it (5 years) .
Another important feature that Qt Creator has is that it's native and cross platform. This means that it does not need any bloaty VM to be installed such as .NET framework, Java VM or similar. When you install Qt Creator it is a statically linked C++ application built natively for your platform.
Qt Creator is tightly linked to the Qt framework and has many features built in to support Qt such as graphical UI designers, UI resource manager, 3D asset management, Internationalization manager, debugger integration with support for Qt native types. It also has a test harness built in and support forthe Qt spesific build systems (qmake and qbs). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would love to see support for more languages out of the box. I know there are plugins and available customizations for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
