All of the above. I'm an LXDE user and worry about big changes.

I don't know Qt closely, but it seems to me it's more like a platform
than like a library.

I like libraries. I don't like platforms.

Depending on C++ would be worrisome enough, but Qt adds (or at least
used to add) an extra language layer through the metacompiler. Is it
even so that yet further layers have been piled on top for "mobile
computing."

Isn't there even an IDE?

I like IDEs even less than platforms.
