I've done both and the real answer is "it depends". If performance is all that matters, the yes, it's Qt hands down. But Qt is also significantly harder to develop and maintain, especially if you want optimized application for minimal hardware.

If you want an optimized application for minimal hardware then surely HTML isn't an alternative anyway? Not sure I agree that QT is harder to develop and maintain, it depends on what you are used to.
That was the question on linked article. These days HTML becomes viable even on low-end hardware, it's even standard on some appliances (i.e. home routers) and this question is very common.

General census is that writing clean C++ (QML was still lacking the last time I used Qt, though it might have changed since then) is a bit harder than creating HTML page.

Qt is really easy to start with. You can have primitive crosscompiled touchscreen application in couple days without prior experience.

Also consider a QT app is much harder to style and make it look good
People with HTML5 experience is much easier to find
I'm not against QT, quite the contrary, but it's a technology that has a higher entry barrier and fewer people with experience on it

Javascript isn't exactly known for maintainability and clean code either. I'd much prefer C++ for proper applications.

Yes, but compare that to hours in HTML5 Also consider a QT app is much harder to style and make it look good People with HTML5 experience is much easier to find I'm not against QT, quite the contrary, but it's a technology that has a higher entry barrier and fewer people with experience on it
If you're developing for the desktop, Qt Widgets is definitely the way to go. No, you can't (easily) style it in your own weird, custom, way. Please don't, I want it to fit in with all the other applications on my desktop.

It might be easy for programmer, but try to explain cross-compilation and hardware specific optimizations for your designer or front-end developer. HTML, on the other hand, is reasonably easy for everyone.

I think you are confused, home routers don't even render HTML but let the insanely powerful client do the actual work. Javascript isn't exactly known for maintainability and clean code either. I'd much prefer C++ for proper applications.

This article purely concentrates on mobile - keep that in mind. There is no debate the native is better than web apps - but now we have React Native so... I am not sure what the point is here.
