Copperspice was interesting as a technical experiment to see if improvements to C++ have made the moc no longer needed. The basic problem with using it to actually write applications is that the development effort on it isn't put into things which make your application better. Modernizing and cleaning up the Qt codebase is great for the people working on Qt (or Cs), but most of the changes aren't actually valuable for users of it.

A much less invasive solution to the problem: https://github.com/woboq/verdigris

Copperspice is just a purity zealot project specifically against the moc, it's not a healthy goal. The focus should be on the GUI.
