The Haiku alpha is barely out the door, and we already have another important news item about the open source reimplementation of the BeOS. About 18 months ago, Evgeny Abdraimov started porting the Qt4 graphical toolkit to Haiku, and now, we ave some seriously epic screenshots showing a multitude of Qt4 applications running in Haiku, as well as a developer preview release.

Porting of framworks such as QT will make it easier for developers to port QT applications.
I doubt many will write a dedicated Haiku app in QT.
My fear is that the platform will be completely reliant on ports rather than applications being natively developed. If no apps are native then the benefits of this platform won't be taken advantage of.
