QML is the logical progression for UI/UX design. Its going to make it easier to build innovative user interfaces and I fully believe you will still be able to build apps that look and feel just like the traditional QWidget based interfaces we have today. You can see this in some of the examples posted on the Qt Developer blog.

I lead the frontend development for a very large (and successful regardless of what the press says) command and control system. We completely decoupled our UI from our logic years ago into config files, and use QtScript for GUI events. This allows us to deploy on a large number of form factors with a single code base. Performance has not been effected as the logic is still C++. QML will be a huge improvement over that because it makes it so we don't have to manually build effects using QPainter, QGLWidget, or QGraphicsView.

I understand being resistant to change, but I am 100% behind them looking forward, building for the future, and not just assuming we will to continue doing things the way we do now.
