A Google talk in 2008 by Kevlin Henney, "C++ Stylistics":

Some of the limits/problems of C++ he talks about are patched by Qt, like signals & slots, Q_FLAGS, Q_PROPERTY, Q_ENUMS:

GUIs have needs quite different from the features offered by standard C++: they don't need high speed processing, but they enjoy a good runtime reflection and few other things, most of them offered in some way by the Qt "Meta-Object Compiler".
