It seems like the best development environment is qt creator+madde, but that's c++ only?
esbox with pluthon is pretty good for python, but I cannot for the life of me get it to play with SVN which is what garage uses. So its a pain to use with svn

the suggestion of using qt with python seems to be dependent on waiting for some fix arriving at some point that would actually allow you to get the app out of extra-devel. But if you want to write a python app that people can actually use *now* then you have to stick with GTK?
Are there any guides on how you'd convert from gtk to qt?
I've been using gtkBuilder, is there some QT equivalent? or do I have to go back to coding everything integrated?

I am hoping to get back to working on witter, and I'm trying to decide if I should seriously consider switching to QT.
