I think they ought to focus on Rust support and Qt on Rust.

Hm. Can't even use it. It segfaults when loading compile_commands.json projects. It happens everywhere, not just on my system. The compilation database project manager is just borked.I reported this against 5.0 RC, but they decided to ship a release of this thing even though it segfaults on project loading. lol...

The long hyped "Experimental Clang backend" still crashes on me every 5 minutes. I'm still not able to use it despite very promising results. Though deactivating it makes Qt Creator quite useable for me.

I would welcome it if they would concentrate more on meson support and less on QML.

Prioritize a not so prevalent build system, even less so among Qt developers, over QML a major part of Qt used by thousands of Qt developers. That makes perfect sense...

... that's the exact reason why Qt Creator is "not so prevalent" among the IDE's
