&gt; <i>With Qt you also have to use its own classes for non-UI stuff, like strings and lists.</i><p>At least for the parts interacting with Qt components and yes, that can be an annoyance. Tricky tradeoff with compatibility and performance optimizations. On the other hand, it also gives you a bunch non-GUI things that otherwise would need extra libraries.<p>&gt; <i>It’s also pricey for closed source.</i><p>Given the author is clearly talking about Windows (=desktop) applications, I don&#x27;t see why they think using Qt under LGPL is not an option for them.
