I'm sure both pygtk and pyqt are excellent ways to get a head start with GUI design and the such but my background is in servers/services, databases, embedded systems, some Linux kernel module tinkering and other more low level things. This makes GUI creation a secondary thing (even though it seems easy enough to do nice things in Maemo5) and access to hardware and system resources a primary.

But I have to say that not having to ... handle scratchbox is a good selling point.
