I'll have to agree completely here, Qt is just so great to work with.  It
makes my day job (I have to do it in C++) much more bearable.  Phil Thompson
(who maintains PyQt) is also very responsive and updates frequently even if
you haven't bought a commercial licence for it.

I also have to agree that the Qt Designer is the best I've ever had to work
with, and I can't think of an instance where Qt Assistant wasn't open on one
desktop or another.
