I think that QT is close in terms of speed of development.
It is free for Linux, uses more the more standard C++, and classes map 
somewhat closely to MFC

+++ it has python bindings

For database stuff Delphi/Kylix is probably more mature although
QT 3 has some some stuff - and trolltech is very actively
developing it.


Python has nice a fairly nice C interface
Python for speed of development and you can recode
slower stuff in c.

Also you can look at blackadder (I haven't tried it):

Also many people use wxPython...
