Yeah, and now Qt feels like that nightmare called Java... 
"Code less, create more" is now a slogan of the past.

- From my feeling, Qt3 automagically did a lot itself, I only had to feed it 
everything I had in the constructor and be done with it. In Qt4, I have to 
take care of (and remember!) every little detail myself. I suppose that 
hardly any newly written code will assign a name to a widget, as it does not 
immediately cause problems (only when you try to do ui debugging and get only 
generic names without any meaning).

Also, reading Qt4 code, e.g. a manually constructed dialog, is so much harder, 
as it will be about three to four times as large as the Qt3 code was. 

Cheers,
Reinhold
