Well, you've lost dependency to .Net and Java but you gained dependency to Qt... ideally, a Windows application wouldn't depending on anything and would follow all the Windows Interface Guidlines so that beginners can get an easy start...

http://www.ics.uci.edu/~kobsa/course...Guidelines.pdf - a bit old and I agree not even Microsoft follows everything in here anymore but it's still a good read

Well anyway, I remember we've talked about it and I understand your decision, but I still felt like saying this for others to read... You can do beautiful apps using just native code - Virtualdub comes to mind for example - but I agree Qt makes it easier. Just not user friendly.
