Qt has widgets. DOM approach doesn't have widgets but <div> elements stitched together to pretend to be something else than boxes of text.

As a Norwegian <div> makes perfect sense, as "div" is a common shorthand for "diverse" meaning "various" or "miscellaneous". At least that's what I always think of when writing <div>.

It's short for a "content division" being a generic reflowing container.
