Good IDE for cross-platform development **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** 佳亮 . | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 27, 2016 **What do you like best about Qt?** Qt Creator is an advanced and free IDE on Linux/Win/Mac, which is actually very rare. If you are on Linux platform, it'll be hard to find another IDE comparable to Qt Creator. **What do you dislike about Qt?** The speed is sometimes not very good. And it occasionally crashes. Also, CJK support is not good enough, especially on Linux platform. **What problems is Qt solving and how is that benefiting you?** I've used Qt Creator for C/C++ development. The cross-platform feature of Qt Libraries is just overwhelming. I think it's probably the only usable GUI library for cross-platform application development. ### 2. Fast and User-friendly IDE **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Сергей . | Junior Software Developer, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 10, 2016 **What do you like best about Qt?** It's faster than many other IDEs It provides easy-to-use build system and interface to use it Code completion is great, especially for Qt-only features **What do you dislike about Qt?** Qt Designer is awful - no raw XML edit, few possibilities in designer itself Few ways to customize UX **Recommendations to others considering Qt:** If you wish to use C/C++ IDE I suggest you looking at Qt Creator instead of CLion or any other - it's faster and has as many features. **What problems is Qt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Creating GUI interfaces - easy to debug and deploy ### 3. Great software for C/C++ development. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Defense & Space | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 09, 2016 **What do you like best about Qt?** The user interface is pretty neat. The QMake facility makes the linking job a lot easier than traditional tools. for GUI development, drag-and-drop is super easy to use. Plus, it's cross-platform. **What do you dislike about Qt?** Is buggy at times. The way it saves and reads the user config file is not good. 64-bit binaries of older versions are difficult to find. **Recommendations to others considering Qt:** Please consider using it for quick GUI prototyping and even for daily C/C++ applications. **What problems is Qt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Mainly for creating GUI for different applications. The major benefit is quick prototyping. ### 4. More than 5 years of C/C++ code editing in the QtCreator. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Roman B. | Senior Software Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 05, 2016 **What do you like best about Qt?** Amond others Linux tools this one looks like real IDE. Nice syntax highlighting, fast navigation, fast search, configurable for custom builds. Free for Linux in case of usage as IDE for C/C++. **What do you dislike about Qt?** Indexing doesn't update so quick as expected. Sometimes highlighting is breaking for some pieces of code without any noticeable reason. Doesn't always work correctly with C macro highlighting, not always highlights correctly the complex types. Very complex approach to create initial app on Qt with visual editor. **Recommendations to others considering Qt:** Very good IDE under Linux, which is usually a rare. **What problems is Qt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Code development for different areas of the market. ## Qt Discussions - [What are the primary benefits of QtCreator?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/24367-what-are-the-primary-benefits-of-qtcreator) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [What is Qt used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-qt-used-for) - 1 comment - [Is Qt Creator IDE free?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/is-qt-creator-ide-free) - 1 comment - [What is the use of Qt Creator?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-the-use-of-qt-creator) - 1 comment - [View Qt pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/qt/reviews?page=2§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-07-31+15%3A14%3A07+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=53cd53ad-cbf2-4b31-a4fa-b0b3bac5dff3&secure%5Btoken%5D=80c57c4560bb1f255277ef7d1e3091396dff4dd523b5b6c8497829396f4dcced&format=llm_user) ## Qt Integrations - [Eclipse](https://www.g2.com/products/eclipse/reviews) ## Qt Features **Functionality ** - Ease of Use - File Management - Multi-Language Support - Customization - Straight-Out-the-Box Functionality - Help Guides - Patching & Updates **Functionality** - Ease of Use - File Management - Multi-Language Support - Customization - Straight-Out-the-Box Functionality - Help Guides - Patching & Updates **Functionality** - Language Contingency - Component Library - Unlocked Components **Functionality** - Language Support - Ease of Use - Integrations ** Application Design** - Interface - Templates - Device Workflows - Testing - Hardware Support - Application Deployment **Functionality** - Platform - Multi-Language Support - Performance - Help Guides - Ease of Use - Patches & Updates - Integrations **Functionality** - Ease of Use - File Management - Multi-Language Support - Customization - Straight-Out-the-Box Functionality - Help Guides - Patching & Updates **Platform - App Monetization Platforms** - Automated Tools - Campaign Management - Audience Targeting - In-App Purchases - Reporting & Dashboards - A/B Testing - AI Algorithms - Integration APIs - Fraud Prevention - Cross-Platform Support - Payment Integration - User Data Analysis - Subscription Management - Performance Analytics - Multiple Monetization Models **Core Lifecycle Management - ALM Software** - Test Management - Traceability - Requirements Management **Agentic AI - Mobile Development Platforms** - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance **Management** - Framework Integration - Repository Management - Support **Performance** - Power - Responsiveness - Lightweight ** Application Control** - Data Migration - Data Syncronization - Data Security - Integrations - Lifecycle Management - Analytics **Advertising - App Monetization Platforms** - Ad Exchange - Offerwall - Bidding - Ad Mediation - Ad Formats - Ad Optimization **Organization - ALM Software** - Reporting - Collaboration - Project Planning **Support** - Tutorials - Documentation - Community ## Top Qt Alternatives - [Xcode](https://www.g2.com/products/xcode/reviews) - 4.2/5.0 (998 reviews) - [Visual Studio](https://www.g2.com/products/visual-studio/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (3,830 reviews) - [Ionic: An OutSystems Company](https://www.g2.com/products/ionic-an-outsystems-company/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (150 reviews)
