    Description

      Taking this page as an example:
      https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qt-intro.html 

      A new Qt developer landing to this page will get to see following:

      Qt offers two solutions for UI designQt Widgets and Qt QuickQt Widgets tightly integrates with desktop look-and-feel. Qt Quick UIs are dynamic with fluid animations and are optimal for touch interfaces. The User Interfaces page compares both Qt Quick and Qt Widgets technologies.

      While the text as a whole describes the differences well, it has unintentional promotion of Widgets simply in mentioning them first. And this is literally the second page you have after selecting "new to Qt", just a click on "next page" away from start.

      There is no consistent order for introducing these two solutions in the "Getting Started with Qt" but new features come mainly for Qt Quick and Qt Quick is clearly presented as the preferred UI technology for any new project starting today, we should mention Qt Quick first across the "Getting Started with Qt" unless the topic is obviously about something where widgets is the choice to make.
