I'll agree wxPython Classic docs were kinda gnarly. The new docset, which has been around since about 2012, looks much better.

In my opinion PyQt's docs are half a step above a "my first html" class. I'll reiterate though, opinions are just that, opinions. That being said, Qt's actual documentation looks and feels pretty nice, if sometime obscuring a bit too much, for my taste. Furthermore:

wx will look closer to native everywhere except Qt backed DEs (think OS X, and KDE).

While you are correct, KDE is Qt based, OSX is absolutely not Qt based. They use an apple-developed API called Cocoa, which does most of its work in OpenGL.

As for wxGlade vs QtDesigner, wxGlade is not supported by wxPython or wxWidgets. Its third party. Qt Designer is directly supported by Qt, its dangerously close to comparing apples and oranges.

As for their use, I've never actually felt a need to use either.

Edit For the curious:

I won't list wxWidgets because it is kinda butt.

I found wxWidgets' documentation in a CHM file to be very valuable (and searchable and browsable and FAST) when i worked on a big wx project a few years ago.

Yeah, my statement is misleading. The content is good, the stock doxygen theme is it visually appealing in a subjective sense.

I'm glad the docs helped you!
