This isn't a really clear-cut issue right now. I prefer the gr-qtgui
(which uses Qt and QWT as well as their Python versions), but qtgui is
still missing a few features that would really make it
production-ready. I'm working in these things now, though. I find the
Qt implementations to have a better look and feel than the Wx stuff,
and the concept of signals and slots gives it a lot of power, which I
am working on building more into the UI.
My main hope for Qt-GUI is that it will exercise fewer edge cases (or
not use at all) in OpenGL. I have an app that still, occasionally,
dumpeth the core on *some* platforms due to bugs deep in the bowels
of the OpenGL "ecosystem".
But I agree that gr-qtgui as it currently exists is missing some
features that would make it production-ready, including splitting out
the individual components of the current qtgui "megasink", and
strip-chart type features (basically, everything that wxgui currently
has).
