QT is a class library but Kylix is an IDE so theres not 
much comparison. Kylix GUI classes are the QT ones licensed 
by Borland from Troll and wrapped to mimic the CLX classes 
on Windows.

But it is the IDE/Compiler I was talking about. The compiled 
code is faster than GNU g++ and faster to write than C++.

Its not as fast as Python for development time but thats
no good if you really need a compiled solution...

Kylix is free in its most basic form, and uses Object Pascal...

Kylix is code compatible with Delphi for windoze...

If getting paid for writing the code I'd rather use Kylix. 
If doing it for free I'd probably go with Qt or GT/k
