Not massively complex but massively used: development cost is
justified by the usage. If 3 persons are to use the app for 3 years,
you won't invest as much as for 10 milions using it for 10 years.

Hadn't even heared of Qt in 2003, when I developped my GUIs.
AFAIK Qt libraries are in C++, a language I dislike, but I've seen
there's an Ada binding for it :-)
Dunno what a "declarative language" means. Does it mean a
kind of non-imperative language like Make, Flex, Bison?
Since you say it's simple to use, I will consider it the next time
I want to write a GUI. Thanks a lot.
