What actually are those "Rectangle", "mouseArea", etc. elements?
They are objects.

Also, slightly unrelated, but what's the purpose of QML?
To provide a declarative language of doing fancy things that can be exploited by designers and not only programmers. It's also sometimes being referred to as "flash-killer". Although prematurely, in my opinion.

To me it seems like first you have to reinvent all the widgets and then still have them not fit in with the platform look and feel.
If you are after widgets and platform look and feel then QtQuick is probably not for you.

Basically, what is QML's place compared to "normal" Qt GUI widgets?
It's a parallel technology.
Quote:
It it for special purposes only, or does it work with Qt/C++?
It can cooperate with C++. You can consider it a similar relationship as between Qt/C++ and QtScript. Just don't extend this comparison to the area of functionality, QtQuick and QtScript have a totally different area of use (though they both use JavaScript).
