I think it is huge because it has a lot of widgets (some of which are
indeed half-custom), it has a lot of functionalities, etc.

Not to mention that wxWidgets also includes a lot of non-GUI functions
which are already provided in the Python stdlib.

The problem is that for a GUI system to be useful for many people, it
has to implement a lot of small details which are bound to add up and
form a huge package ;-)
