I think that's a bit of an unfair statement. Sure conversion can be a bit
of a pain and there is some setup for getting the classes working. But that
is generally a small static piece of code you can find all over the net,
which is then usable for most projects.

The code you get from Qt creator however can be a huge bulk of the work
which you thankfully don't need to nitpick over much at all.

Yes understanding how it works helps a lot and I'd recommend anyone to have
a look at how to build a decent GUI with Qt.

But for me, once past the understanding, coding GUIs by hand is about as
dull as it gets. Qt creator definitely makes the work go faster.
