I has been years since I used QCharts so I cannot compare.
Below are some thoughts on your questions. I would say it is designed to be programmed and the drawing tools are secondary.
And I think once you see what you can do with programming, you will never go back to drawing on charts...

There is a drawing tool bar for inserting drawing objects. After they are drawn you double-click in them to modify them.
>2/ ability to set alarms on line touches (both RSI and Price lines). Ability to auto fire orders as well (actually send it)
There are alarms and auto-execution from EasyLanguage code (TradeStation brokerage only) but You probably need code to connect the two.
>3/ ability to zoom in without screwing up things when one resets back to normal.
You zoom by selecting the desired corner points. It is easy to cancel.
>4/ ability to copy retrace tools across charts (tools that would be used for setting triangle targets, Flag targets, channel targets).
You can copy/paste complete windows then modify things in the pasted window.
>5/ Tons of other features that I could probably come up with if I spend a week looking at it.
You can program most anything you might need - drawing lines, or text.

Don't know. There is a big help file. Call then and ask.
