My understanding is: not very.  wxPython seems to be held in high regard,
too.

Actually, it appears to barely use threads at all.  But thanks to your
pointer, I've been looking at it a lot this afternoon and have discovered

2. Its architecture may factor the whole threading features problem out of
existance (though not the threading bugs problem)

So I am looking into that.
