</div>I agree that can be a viable marketplace.<br>

</div>I slightly tend to disagree, but of course this is open for discussion and the<br>
people doing the work have a higher weight than me. I'd rather have a GTK<br>
Skencil then no Skencil. ;)<br>

</div>Qt can be quite lightweight and it as a very good reputation on embedded<br>
system and good backing of large corporations (Nokia).<br>

</div>Python is more object oriented, this usually fits Qt well.<br>
