Please note that there is no limit, we just happen to have 3
applications features right now. If we want to, we could turn every
application into a featured application ;)

VLC is very much a Qt app, thank you :S

Borderline useful since the inventin of the internet. My personal
opinions aside though, [1] development seems to have dropped mid-2012
and for some reason the last relese tag was 3 years ago and the
software has been a beta ever since then :O

I think KMyMoney already somewhat goes down that road, so I'd rather
take KMyMoney than Kraft as Kraft obviously has a very narrow target
audience and is just about useless to everyone who's not running some
sort of business.
