I certainly don't *not* like GUI programming. In fact, learning wxPython was really fun and interesting and I enjoy GUI stuff. And after learning about XRC (putting the GUI component in a separate XML file, away from the program logic) that helped me learn how to keep things separate as well. I even wrote a tutorial on how to use XRC with wxPython! :)
