      Hi, welcome to devnet.

      Qt is a cross-platform c++ library. It is compiled separately for each platform it supports with whatever compiler is available for it, usually gcc, clang or msvc.
      In that respect Qt is similar to what xamarin is, except it's c++ and compiled to native binaries. Each supported platform supports apps written in c++ (with some platform specific sprinkles here and there, handled by Qt internally for you).

      Qt Creator is just an IDE written using Qt, and as such it is also cross-platform and does not require 3rd party software to be so.

          It's Qt not QT. QT usually stands for Apple's QuickTime.
          Qt (pronounced "cute") is not a shortcut (historically it might have been at some point).

          Qt is a c++ software library.
          Qt Creator and Visual Studio 2015 are IDEs.
          The list of features of both IDEs is enormously long. There's no simple "yes" or "no" answer to your question. Some concepts are the same, some different, some missing from one or the other.
