My immediate reaction is this could be cool, but for a few things:
1) complexity. I think we could very easily go down the route of
everything-is-customizable-while-nothing-is-simple.
2) speed? while we can embed widgets directly in a qgraphicsscene,
speed-wise i don't think it is exactly comparable to them being
native. and then we need to deal with resizes and mouse events, etc.
