Kivy excels at a lot of things, but I'd say that its real value shows when you want to quickly make a cross-platform mobile app that also happens to run on desktop OSes. The widgets and markup language (KV) are designed to be used in a multitouch environment, and they seem pretty alien when used with a mouse and keyboard. They are pretty intuitive when used on a tablet or phone, though -- I recommend you try compiling your app for Android before giving up on the framework. That being said, even when compiling for PC it's worked very well for me when a client wants an internal tool and is willing to give up a native feel in exchange for fast (cheap!) development. I wrote this for UCLA a few months ago, and I think the whole thing only took me about 20 hours: https://github.com/sbrother/wassum-lab-lick-program/ https://github.com/sbrother/wassum-lab-lick-program/
