Both are wrong ;)

The traditional Qt widgets work very well (and if you look at your
favourite Qt desktop applications, chances are that's what they use).

Looking at e.g. http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/log/src/widgets
you'll also notice they are still developed, though certainly they're
more or less considered "done". But still then, even for new stuff
like QtWebEngine, the widgets API is usually more featureful than the
QML one.

You can also use QML/QtQuick inside Qt Widgets, and there are things
like PyOtherSide if you want to go the QML route.
