Deciding on the Best Python GUI Designer

I've been learning the various front-end dev tools for RAD Python development lately. I first went to QT because of the extensive design tools available for it. I quickly ruled it out due to its licensing restrictions.

I next gave the various wxPython designers/IDEs a look over. I started with wxGlade as it seems to be commonly used on the Internet. After running through some tutorials, I'm fairly satisfied that it could do what I need but it does lack some of the more advanced layout options.

Boa Constructor shows promise but is pretty convoluted and lacks a certain "polish" that I'm looking for.

I also gave PythonCard a go but it's miserable on Linux, so it's probably out as well...

Any recommendations out there for a solid wxPython layout environment? Do I just need to stick with wxGlade and hope for the best?
