Originally posted by hoohoo View PostMe, I liked KDE3.5 the best, and I've always liked Qt's philosophy for coding, but wxWidgets is cool too. I never found a really great book on GTK, so I never learned it, so I don't use it.
PyGTK and PyQt feel pretty similar but with their own strengths and weaknesses but I'd imagine that, for GTK+, you'd want to stick to languages with object-oriented constructs and use the GObject Introspection binding system. Using a reinvention of object-oriented concepts in C isn't exactly comfortable.

This talk explains it well and with lots of humour:
