Interesting. I have used Qt and PyQt, and except for the fact that PyQt
isn't very pythonic (feels like C++ translated directly to Python), I
never had any problems with it.  Maybe since I was already familiar with
signals and slots programming I never found any unexpected behavior[1].
 I've never used Tkinter, and I only ever used wxWidgets once (back when
it was called wxWindows), and the close similarity to MFC at the time
(which I was fleeing) didn't sit right with me.  Also the flexible
layout that Qt and Gtk encouraged was a big plus in my mind.  I guess
you like what you get used to.
