Through my employment, I've become quite comfortable using Microsoft Visual Studio. There are times when the intellisense completely fails, but for the most part it's more than sufficient. The feature I really rely on, though, is the debugger.
The Qt Creator IDE has debugging functionality, but I didn't find it anywhere near as intuitive as Visual Studio's. After developing with Creator for a while, I got frustrated enough to try to return to my comfort zone. I don't intend to go out of my way to make this thing multi-platform, so I wasn't too concerned about compiler differences, etc.
I did a quick search for "qt in visual studio" and came across (I believe) these step-by-step explanations. Between the two, I was able to get Qt building for Visual Studio. As mentioned in both how-to's, it took quite a while, so have a good book on hand if you give it a try.
I'm afraid that, writing this in retrospect, I'm entirely too unclear on the details to be very helpful. Perhaps the next time I re-install Windows, I'll pay better attention. I'm sure there were other settings and options I had to tweak in order to import the Qt project into Visual Studio, but I don't remember how that worked.
