    Well, technically, he did.  BOA = Boa-Constructor = wxWindows =
PyGTK on Linux.

    Personally I just built my very first GUI app in any language using
Boa-Constructor.  It was also my very first wxPython app.  The total
time to get the shell up and running to my satisfaction with all the
elements in place was about 6-7 hours.  That's learning Boa, wxPython
and the basics of how to put together a GUI as well as the actual deed
of doing it.

    Boa is beautiful even though at v0.2.3 it is still listed as Alpha.
The Linux version has some problems (typical GTK font bug) but is usable
and builds the shell of the application nicely.  

    wxPython gives a great interface and while the documentation is
geared for the C++ implementation of the same toolkit (wxWindows) I've
had very little problems getting any documented feature I need working.
I can't imagine any other combination being as easy as this has been.
