I lost a year of time on a side-project because of WxPython, I built a shim to allow me to make small tweaks without having to regenerate the python code, and it was barely usable.... then I had to change a list to a drop-down (I think), and it broke everything.
I threw all of that time away, and had it all working in Lazarus/Free Pascal in less than 2 weeks.
Most web based programmers have no clue how badly "modern" tools are compared to the VB6/Delphi era. Everything is worse, except for GIT... GIT is brilliant.

Also, my personal wiki of choice is WikidPad, which is distributed as an executable for windows, and works just fine. I can't move to Linux, because it's distributed as source there, and WxWindows made a breaking change to one of their key parameters to dialog function calls, so none of the dialogs work properly, though it does show text. It's effectively read-only and broken as a result.
