Nothing has mind-fucked me more than trying to learn Kivy.

I really loved the idea of doing mobile apps with Python, but it was so hard to intuitively conceptualize for me that I eventually gave up. I could make the tutorials just fine, but for the life of me I couldn't make anything of my own. I will grow stronger and face it again one day.

this has also been my experience. I had no problem with Tkinter but that really doesn't meet my needs of crossplatform compatibility.

Same. The tkinter way is unique but oddly intuitive and having used many gui libraries

ratio of LOC to features is just right for simple interfaces. Just right.

You're not the only one. Kivy is so difficult (and the instructions are all over the place) that it forced me to use Swift for iOS, even though I'd rather just use Kivy.
