Dropbox would rather write code twice than try to make C++ work on both iOS and Android

I don't know if that's really the case here. It's not really about the GUI side of things, where QT excels, but the low-level system stuff. Plus, the blog article makes it clear: they're having trouble finding people with the C++ skills to maintain what they already have. While we might bemoan this as yet more evidence of decadence in the IT industry, that won't change the associated risks. Switching to the platforms' preferred languages at least makes this someone else's probem.
