Why don't we use Qt Designer?

Why reinvent the wheel? We wanted to create something more user-friendly and less developer-oriented, specifically for people with no prior knowledge of Qt. While we could have forked Qt Designer, it wasn’t feasible at the time. So, we chose to build our own Designer with a more suitable design, less widget-specific code in the core, and several new features missing in Qt Designer. These features include, most notably, data bindings (for database fields) to widgets, and in the future, scripting capabilities as well.
