You do know that wxWindows and wxWidgets are the same thing right?

The big problem with all the solutions mentioned (besides Delphi,
SharpDevelop etc) is that they
take a LOT of time to develop complex GUI applications with.

I looked at Python etc, but it would have taken me 10 times (or more)
longer to create Lightning Admin
using something other than Delphi.

How long do you think it would take you to create a grid with features
like this:

or even like this freeware one:http://www.scalabium.com/smdbgrid.htm

That is the beauty of Delphi, there are simply thousands and thousands of
3rd party components that make your life so much easier.

Need a free super nice syntax highlighting editor with full support for
code completion and param hinting?
Check out: http://mh-nexus.de/unisynedit.htm

Need unicode control support? check out:

Just my opinion on the matter :-) No flames please.
