Qt(Widgets) certainly is good if you know how to use it, you just need someone to tell you what parts to ignore when starting out. Here I put on the "teen who interacts first time with the concept of programming" glasses because of the thread, and consistency and constraints benefit that situation. Unguided first contact with programming through the mess that Qt is today is somewhat counterproductive in this respect. Look at the documentation page for Qt, that's certainly no place where an unguided newcomer could find their way around easily.

Granted, documentation isnt that great for Qt (but there's a ton of other resources). But doing anything more than the simplest of GUI is supereasy with Qt, much easier than TKinter, and IMHO even Lazarus.

But, even if you don't like Qt, QtCreator is still a great IDE. No need to keep using a Dosbox with Turbo C++.
