I've really wanted to dive into this for a side project. On the limited time I've had, I notice the Creator IDE UI and tutorials take an extra step I'm not used which is probably from translating the experience from Finnish to my own language (American English). Just a random guess but the commercial version could increase uptake by doing a round or two of "visual/workflow qa" for a wider-range of global users (especially the folks looking to speed through to working QML/JS demos). Will keep digging ... the "deploy local windowing" to Lin/Win/Mac looks truthy. (I think I should just start simple with a text editor and the compiler next go round)

if you want to play with it and learn your way around the api, it's easier to get up and running with python+pyqt than with c++. the python bindings are very well supported and there're lots of blog posts and tutorials out there.

Does pyqt work with the just announced version 5.0?

yep. see http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/news/pyqt-496. the pyqt bindings are supported by riverbank, which offers commercial licenses, so they have every incentive to keep it up to date.

The official bindings are PySide, incorporated into Qt:

There is a book out there called "Rapid GUI Programming with Python and Qt The Definitive Guide to PyQt Programming by Mark Summerfield" Code downloadable here: http://www.qtrac.eu/pyqtbook.html

Full text: http://ebookbrowse.com/summerfield-rapid-gui-programming-wit...

In all the code in that book you can just substitute "import PySide" for "import PyQt4" and pretty much everything works. In addition, if you install Qt4Assistant you will have a searchable tool for all classes and documentation.
