Does it have any benefits (except for binaries which are a little smaller)?
It's not more complicated if you write the entire app using it. It CAN get more complicated if you write your app in QtCreator and then port it across to MSVC++ for the final deployment, which is what you said in your first post.

If you don't want the hassles of using two different compilers, then stick with the one you prefer. I know I wouldn't want to do the entire app using QtCreator, then all the testing, and then port and re-test under MSVC++. I'd use one and stick with it.
