[Qt] Why Qt4Pas?

[Christian Sciberras]

I can't give any advice, however:

-Lazarus, can be made to use the QT widgets, which is impressive since
there's a lot of GUI code going on in it.
-Many applications built with FPC/Lazarus use QT
-The company I work with will be using QT in a prototype (however,
prerelease) project

I'm positive there are many alternatives out there, for instance, the GUI
designer that comes with QT SDK is pretty impressive (and very useful with
C++).

Cheers.
