When we created Dabo way way back in 2004 (!) Qt was only available under a commercial license, so while it looked nice, we passed on it in favor of wxPython. Since then they have released a “free” version that while you don’t pay to use it in some circumstances, it doesn’t come with an open license. I haven’t played around with it very much, so I don’t have an opinion on how working with it would be.

And yeah, it is 2017 now, and most of the demand I see is not only for web-based apps, but also mobile-aware web apps. I’m sure that there are people who still want desktop apps, but then again, there are still people running Windows XP.
