QML was my first introduction into declarative and reactive GUI programming, and it was pretty great. It also came out 4 years before React brought the same paradigm to most front-end web developers.

QML spoiled me, as React in comparison is quite clunky, so I'm not really sure where your post is coming from.

My post comes from my personal and professional experience developing Qt applications with C++, which unfortunately already spans over a decade.

Given you only mentioned QML, which is a relatively new addition whose adoption rate is still negligible, my guess is that you've never worked with C++ projects that use Qt's widgets.

I've used Qt bindings in other languages and the experience was pleasant for me.
