Lots of good ideas never get the attention and effort they deserve.
Except that AnyGui was never a good idea. A wrapper around a wrapper around a wrapper around a ..... just too much! As far as I can tell, there are two good ideas:
1) a toolkit written from scratch that draws it's own stuff on all platforms. To get performance, much of needs to be written in a lower level language: al la QT, GTK, Fox, etc....
2) a toolkit that wraps the native widgets on all platforms, also needs to be written largely in a lower level language: al la wxWidgets.
What would be nicer than any of the existing alternatives is one written specifically for Python. The problem with that is that it has a smaller audience, so may never get done. PyGui has promise, but has a long way to go.

Very good point. This locks you into using the same GUI toolkit that the IDE uses, severely limiting the market.
