Of particular note, Qt predates the STL, so even `std::string` was being reinvented everywhere. Once it did show up, it didn't have the same features (e.g., CoW) everywhere, so `QString` persisted.

Additionally QString & all of Qt's other container classes have so many useful functions that using them over the STL equivalents is basically a no-brainer. It's sooooooo much easier, both to write and to read. There's sooooooooooooo much more functionality, too.
