Good point.
Summary: --------
- Developing web application as you develop GUI is not suited for general web development
You haven't given any evidence to support this claim AFAICT, but I may have missed it.
- Signals/Slots mode has big overhead and hides too much from developer.
I can understand that argument. Not sure I agree that it hides too much, but at least I understand it.
- HTML and templates are essential for web development, hiding them behind Qt like "layout" abstracts brings back and not forward.
This seems to be an entirely subjective statement. I'd like to understand whether it's the same as saying “machine instructions are essential for coding; hiding them behind Pascal-like ‘high-level language’ abstractions brings us back and not forward,” which I would reject on its face, or if there's something more to it. Note that I don't reject all such arguments. For example, I believe that today's typesafe languages force us too far away from the machine model to achieve the highest efficiency. But then, that's phrased as a tradeoff between safety and efficiency; your statement isn't. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
