that extra layer does not hurt... it's in c/c++ so speed is not an issue.

last time i tried it it had some minor bugs - but that's one or two 
releases ago, so no measure.
but i would note on the negative side that it hasn't the native look. it 
is good but many users will complain about the look. the same aplies to 
tkinter.

pyQT and wxWindows both look better. and wxWindows wins for me because of 
the more liberal license.
