It is not only but these tools. It is that if I need to develop and
deploy a GUI on all major platforms, and I need it to be BSD or LGPL, wx
is the best option I have, regardless of Traits. It is also the most used
in the Python community. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that many
labs have their custom tools that use wx.
