If, however, your goal is to deliver a desktop application that runs on Windows, MacOS X and other Unixes...VS is worst than useless.
Not at all true. Setting up VS to work with Qt isn't too hard. And once you've got it set up it's a perfectly fine tool for writing cross platform Qt apps. Then to build and test you just do some clever stuff with virtual machines and you are good to go.
