Python vs Java : GUI, drag an drop

[Jarek Wilkiewicz]

I've written GUIs in Java before, mainly using awt, and it was a pain in the
neck. All of the Java-based GUIs I've used lately are terribly slow, so
while there seem to be a lot of improvement on the server side, the speed of
Java UIs is less then satisfactory (or to put it more bluntly: they suck!),
at least in my humble opinion. Also, the complexity of awt and swing is
something I'd prefer to avoid.

Thanks,
Jarek
