Hi,
the answer to your question depends of what you mean with "modular application".

Modular application means plug able modules or you can call it plugins. There will have one interface and other functionality will be plugins.

Hi,
Qt is designed in modular way. For example database drivers, Image formats support, Input methods are plugin based.
QtCreator, for example, is basically a plugin loader: every functionality is a plugin.
Read "here":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.1/qtcore/plugins-howto.html and "here":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.1/qtwidgets/tools-plugandpaint.html for a reference and for an example

There has no doubt about Qt. Qt is well modular. But I want to develop my software using Qt in modular way. Like a SMS sending software every SMS gateway will be a plugins. User will be able to install/uninstall SMS gateway plugins. They can use different getaway. If I found any new gateway then i will just give them a dll for that. That dll will work with their existing software.
