This might even sound reasonable were we not comparing it to Qt — Qt for fuck's sake! The single most disgusting thing in two universes.
Which in 2002 was more bloated than the web BTW — QML is the grandfather of modern web debauchery. The only good thing about it is that it contains a wide range of ready to use components — that's what they did with GTK4, so now development dependencies drag even GStreamer in, but somehow you don't like it.

It's basically like Delphi or rather C++ Builder, but cross-platform — and in no OS it looks native.
To be fair, I know a couple of commercial applications for Mac OS X using Qt that almost look natively, but A LOT of effort was put into it. In Windows it always looks like an illegal alien, and in Linux it's so ugly that you can scare children with it 😱

Not in 2000s, it wasn't. Relying on Qt as your GUI framework was not the status quo, more like a bold move, but in terms of being cross-platform it was a good choice even at the time.
