Hi,
I've been using the Qt5 version for almost a year now, and I'm not miserable.

There's some problems to look into, for example I had to stop using
kdev-oldcpp because it got lost parsing/processing QObject-based
classes. Also kdev-clang freezes from time to time. Also the cmake
support has obvious regressions because I overestimated my ability to
contribute to the cmake project.

OTOH, I'd say it's fine though for a Technology Preview kind of thing,
especially if it's going to help it start reaching to the other
platforms.

Cheers!
Aleix
