Actually, I'm very happy with PyQt. It works great. But I'm afraid that its more restrictive licensing limits the global audience of "Qt & Python" users. My hope is that Qt for Python will make the combination even more popular.
PyQT are free to extract fees from the ecosystem as long as they can, just as some open source devs are free to try to eat their lunch money.
That means not everyone has a business model that supports paying a license fee.
