Yes and no, it's the right level of abstract, but it's still Qt. I think the issue here is that it's the unfamiliar. If it had a layer on top of that where you could use json config files, style with sass files, and ad logic in JS, it'd make all the javascript boys come to the yard.

QML is already JS (ES7) so you can code your logic in it (though 95% of people opt for doing it in C++ both for the speed and the static typing). Sure, there's no SASS but I would argue that the QML offering is much clearer than CSS - http://qmlbook.github.io/ch04-qmlstart/qmlstart.html.
It's 100% unfamiliarity with C++. Because you always end up doing logic in C++. JS is there in small bits to tie things together - the original purpose of JS in the old Web.
