That is a really lame excuse. The non-MVC Q*Widget (QListWidget, QTreeWidget) are still available in Qt 5. They may not fit some developer's ideals of "cleanliness", but they just work. And even if the code was still using the old Q3* stuff, porting that to Q*Widget is rather straightforward, there is no need to port to MVC at all. Even if the code was using advanced Q3ListViewItem features such as custom painting code, it is possible to get that to work in non-Qt3Support Qt 4 and in Qt 5 without porting to MVC. I have done it in Kompare. Hint: The QItemDelegate, while documented to work only with the MVC views, actually works perfectly fine with Q*Widget, because Q*Widgets ARE Q*Views internally. So just set a QItemDelegate on your Q*Widget that calls a virtual paint method of your abstract Q*WidgetItem subclass, and then the concrete subclasses of that class can provide custom paint methods just as in Qt 3 days. There is no need to refactor the code at all. Just see my Kompare porting commits, in particular: https://cgit.kde.org/kompare.git/commit/?id=b5b759ebb367ddf2a5b8f093c1dfe544f48ce836 Fake technical arguments may work with users who are not familiar with Qt, but you cannot fool me.
