I think given time, they will ramp up frequencies and be a proper contender to EK, currently the pricing is very competitive, as an example, some friends of mine purchased Y class from BHX to DXB last week flying today and the fare was 50p plus 250 GBP taxes. How long they can maintain fares that low is anyone's guess though.
As long as the LNG flows in Qatar, the fares can be that low
QR is very good - especially in F, on the rare routes that have F (which probably explains why F standards are so good on QR - it's basically the Al-Thani family private jet system with a few regulars).
The only downside I would say is the network and scheduling frequency - hard product is great and the transit experience is DOH is now acceptable.
Also sometimes the mint and lime juice looks radioactive.
