How does Qt Creator shape up against Eclipse CDT?

Qt Creator looks like a good IDE. I've been using Eclipse CDT and while a little buggy, it does the job.

Does Qt Creator have the same capabilities as Eclipse CDT?

Qt Creator uses MinGW under the hood, so it only makes sense that it would be able to compile without using any Qt headers. Simply uncheck all of the headers when making the project and you can code just like you would in any other IDE.

I took an example shot for you to see:

Yes of course! Qt is a great environment and can sure hold it's own against competitors like Eclipse in C++. Although keep in mind Eclipse satisfies a myriad of developers, from Java to C++ to Python among many others. Typically an IDE specializing in one language will be more catered to that language, but Eclipse sure does one hell of a job catering to developers of multiple languages with it's vast amount of plugins. If you're comfortable with Eclipse CDT, I think you will feel right at home with Qt Creator, better yet, pampered.

such a great piece of software.
