There still isn't even a native way to make text nodes in a custom widget. It's been 14 years.
I tried to write a basic serial console app using QtQuick some years ago but the functionality was just too anaemic. I don't really understand how you can write a serious GUI app with QtQuick/QML. If it's just very basic controls, sure. As soon as you need something slightly complicated it totally falls down in ways that QtWidgets don't.
Also the scoping rules of QML make no sense. Children can refer to parents which totally breaks encapsulation.

I love Qt, but QML is meh at best.
