They're all pretty much identical in terms of how they work, other than that they all support some radically different Qt features.
The general behavior has been kept the same, but it is getting a lot more efficient when using refactoring tools in the last versions. Kits and devices has also seen a major overhaul since 2.4.
And QtCreator is not tied to a specific version of the Qt toolchain, it is only an IDE. I always use the last QtCreator version for all my toolchains (Qt4.x and Qt5.x), I even develop with it for embedded devices with no OS and no Qt.
So Jolla can update their SDK without changing the Qt version running on their OS, if they'd see the need.
