Default How Qt is it?

I'm starting to learn the basics of the Qt environment, using the latest Qt Creator and the first edition of <b>C++ GUI Programming with Qt4</b>.

C++ has long been my "language of choice", but the tools available have been either cumbersome, inadequate, under-developed, or over-priced. Now that I'm getting comfortable with Linux (Ubuntu 10.10), the thought of "design once, compile many" comes into play; Qt seems to cover that without much effort.

I can now create a "main screen" and an "about box" after only a couple of chapters of the book. Plug-ins (an alternative to DLLs) is something I've been wanting to work on. Other GUI IDEs I've tried (wxDevC++, Code::Blocks, Lazarus...) cannot handle forms-based libraries. Qt is also supposed to handle such tasks easier.

Anyone else out there using Qt in regular day-to-day programming? I know Rocksim is written with it...
