I prefer wx over qt for these reasons.
Robin works for qt now. *Funny isn't it...*
Basically, To change qt(PySide) you need to pretty much need to be employed by
qt, not the case with wx(is not a *For profit*, but you can donate.).
In my opinion, in the long run(foreseeing from this point forward)
wx will win, because anybody can create a popular fork. And if it is good
enough, it might get accepted into the standard dist also.
As far as "mature", well, the previous statement shows that he can make money
doing it also and enjoy doing what he does in his spare time. I believe Guido
has the privilege of spending half of his time "At work and getting paid for
it." on python.
And Project Phoenix(Py2/3) is still on the way. We'll revisit this question
next year.
