Qt isn't going for web apps. It's going for Qt Declarative / Qt Quick. Just write some GUI apps with classic Qt and with Qt Quick, then you'll quickly realize how much more powerful it is to write GUIs declaratively instead of imperatively.

Then the KDE Free Qt Foundation kicks in: http://www.kde.org/community/whatiskde/kdefreeqtfoundation.php

Then why is the video completely blocked for everyone instead of having a NSFW-do-you-really-want-to-view button?

Why do you assume you have to use C++ to develop Qt user applications? People use QtQuick (declarative programming with QML + JavaScript) to develop user applications without C++. Not to mention PySide and all the other language bindings. However, I really DO want my UI/system libraries to be written in C++, simply because of runtime speed and memory consumption.

Next to the Symbian port, the Technology Preview 2 for Maemo was also released today: http://qt.nokia.com/developer/qt-for-maemo-developers

Nooo, wait, come back. I found a way for people ditching Windows to keep using Microsoft technologies..

I'm surprise you say that, having visited different countries. The variance in culture and cuisine within US is insignificant respect to the world as a whole. I live in South America, and visited South Asia, North Africa, Eastern Europe, North America and the Caribean. I've been to both coasts and center of the US, and can attest that deep down you're all the same.
You want to say different cultures, think of Tokio vs Marrakesh. That's difference.

The use of boost will greatly limit the amount of supported platforms and compilers. Replacing Qt collections with STL will kill the embedded branch, where code expansion counts. It'll also not be nice for the deskop - imagine loading a Visual Studio plugin while another plugin is loaded that uses another STL implementation -> boom, symbol clashes.
