qmlscene is a developer tool, but it is not great as an app launcher. It would be worthwhile creating an app launcher which is better than qmlscene:

1. integrates better with unity. For example, it does not seem possible to run a QML app with qmlscene and specify a Launcher icon for it, without "installing" the app by copying .desktop files into specific hardcoded directories
2. is better documented: qmlscene has no man page; the --help text does not mention the --desktop_file_hint option at all
