This may not be true for pc software, but my personal interest here lies in mobile device development, and Maemo / S60 platforms. Both are moving to have Qt as the primary native toolkit, and that's really what your program should use to "integrate natively" with the rest of the gui (read: it's most likely that you will be paid for a project that requires you to use Qt). Traditionally, the sdk's to both of these platforms have been free-as-in-beer-for-commercial-development, and that expectation may still remain - someone could with few hundred developers under him could make a "strategic" choice based on that alone. I'm not necessarily arguing that it's a good choice, but it's just something that may happen, given the basic human psychology (cheapskate knee-jerk reaction). This is lots of will/would/could, but that's because Qt is just "starting to happen" in my universe. Mostly in C++, but I think it would be nice if Python gained a strong foothold here as well. -- Ville M.
