You have listed them yourself. Portability across different platforms is an=
 important technical merit and we are not talking about Windows only.

Wrong. Qt is very modular and it looks huge due to all the non-GUI modules =
that come with it (network, XML, databases, etc.). The core part with GUI i=
s quite manageable and if we are talking about embedded solutions, don't fo=
rget that Qt was acquired by Nokia (before it began to sink) - phones look =
like perfect examples of "embedded solutions" to me.
