Well if we narrow target applications for maximum of ICQ clone (CAD is
out of question) my company has a solution. It can do many DB-FORMS
related tasks plus some pictures support. ITOH i made proof of concept
port of tkinter3000 WCK to wxPython. So it's possible to write portable new widgets.
I am thinking of HTML implementation on the same principle.

So small apps can use at least curses, Tkinter, wxPython and in future HTML.
Big apps can pack whatever they want.
