Yes, the major version upgrade to Qt 4 was painful, but then that stayed stable for >7 years, so it was worth it. The jump to Qt 5 is almost a recompile. There even are a couple of applications that built with both Qt 4 and Qt 5 and need hardly any ifdefs to do so.

QML is also not a web technology. Basically it is just a description of how items (rects, webviews, whatever) are arranged that is parsed once and turned into a data structure that is then shoved into the GPU for rendering. Javascript is an option to make that structure more dynamic and is purely optional, even though it is a very powerful option and there are people that do complete programs in QML and Javascript. But you can just as well wire a QML UI up with C++ business logic.
AFAIC there is nothing comparable available in the gtk world, so I am not surprised that people with that background mistake it for web technology due to its Javascript option.
