I'm wondering if the signal/slot approach to event handling is gonna be replaced by something that does not require the special pre-processing step? It may be a nice way to handle object events, but at the same time it's pretty limiting when it comes to editing designer generated code. Besides, it makes the code less standard and requires the Qt tools to do this extra step.

Is there a technical reason for sticking with this approach? Why not use traditional event handling like in other toolkits?

Will it be out of the way soon in future releases?

Is it already replaced and I'm not aware of this because I'm a begginer ?

Thanks.
