"Best" is always very subjective ... But I do think that Qt is a *very* good 
alternative to the problem. It's well proven and tested across the whole 
variety of platforms. Personally, that's what I would choose.

BTW, also the Enthought guys are using Qt for their development, although, 
they do provide multiple front ends (wxWindows and Qt definitely).

That would be by now the LGPL version of Qt. This leaves you with more option 
to also be able to use Qt for proprietary (non GPL) development.
