Since I used the term first, I must clarify/expand/reiterate a bit. Except for 
a few minor points, I very much liked the way the Qt team was implementing 
Diablo UI elements and procedures in their port, as they really allowed to 
make something look and feel Diablo-ish with minimal effort and without turning 
existing code upside-down internally (I daresay in some aspects even easier 
than hildonizing some GTK+ apps). Kudos for that. I understand a lot of 
widgets, dialogs and generally UI action can, and will change in Fremantle and 
even more so in Harmattan. However, for me, as an independent developer, it 
would be of tremendous help if this can be achieved in a similar fashion like 
the hildonization of Qt on Diablo, and not by introducing ever more complex 
version-specific UI elements/procedures that might require the re-thinking of 
the whole UI just for that particular release (if you rely on widget signals 
and slots, that can be very-very painful).
