That's not true... One of the problems is that during Qt3, a lot of code
was hard coupled with the Qt toolkit, e.g. all the XYZListViewItems
which inherits from QListViewItem just to carry some data...

This is bad code per definition but was not possible to solve with Qt3.
With Qt4 we have a much cleaner API in Qt, which allows us to write much
cleaner code ourself, however some paradigms have changed... item based
became model-view based... so trying to keep old code alive by using
the item based concept further will result in ugly code. However
rewriting the stuff with the model-view concept in mind makes the code
small and beautiful, and, most important, easy to port to further
versions of Qt.

Ciao,
Tobias
