I've kind of shifted focus to Gambas (a sort of VB-like thing, GPL)
over the last year or two for purposes of RAD. Lately I've been
thinking of porting my PerlQt apps to Gambas since version 2 will be
toolkit-agnostic (version 1 is Qt-based, but there's a mostly working
Gtk binding in the version 2 betas) and I have hope that it'll
eventually work under Windows without needing Cygwin or X.
I don't mean to belittle all the work that's gone into PerlQt, because
I have always found Qt Designer + perlqt to work great and easier,
for me at least, than GLADE + perl/gtk. I certainly prefer perl over
BASIC, even as non-BASIC-like a dialect as Gambas uses. But a
compile/run/debug cycle that consists of pressing F5 is kinda hard to
argue with.
