I recently decided to learn both PyQt and PyGtk. I started with PyQt, got 
basically familiar with it, then tried to switch to PyGtk. It was a shocking 
experience. The gulf in quality between Qt and Gtk is enormous, as is the 
difference between QtDesigner and GLADE. While nowhere near as bad as gtk-1, 
gtk-2 is still worlds behind Qt, despite copying parts of the design.

For small GUI apps, nothing beats Tcl/Tk though.

All IMHO, obviously.
