Spreading FUD from ignorance isn't a very thoughtful sentiment.

We could spoon feed you, but then we'd have to kill you.
Oh, daperl....

How does a window instantiation speak anything about the complexity of a producing a functional UI?

Some of the showcase examples on the QT site list a significant amount of components, which would require quite a bit of experience to use comfortably.

Trying to help me understand what the attraction is to this particular framework wouldn't be spoon feeding me in the slightest; it would help to clarify the cases where QT is better than the alternatives.

You may want to re-consider that pitch. This type of hostile and response won't attract people to QT.
