You may find that it starts out fine, but becomes less satisfactory as 
the sophistication of your interfaces increases. Then the problem will 
be that migration to another platform demands a substantial rewrite of 
your application (I have done this for a fairly small app).

I don't think PythonCard gets much maintenance nowadays.
