When viewed from the perspective that Qt4 is (probably) influenced by cell phone design, then I start to see some of the challenges with Qt4. That does not make Qt4 "right" or "wrong" in itself, but sheds light on whether Qt4 is an appropriate tool set for the desktop style of computing. Sounds to me that Qt4 is a good selection for hand-held devices but perhaps not so great for desktop computing.
Nokia didn't design Qt4, Trolltech did. Before being bought.
I would say that thos information doesn't change the basic argument at all. It just explains one reason why Nokia bought Qt, to have a toolkit that would work well on their mobile devices.
