I've personally chosen a Maya Python OO way, building my own GUI object and
that works great for me.
Only reason for not using pymel was that I made my tools before it got
standardized and as I was releasing them to the masses I didn't want
unnecessary dependencies.
Reason for not to use Mayas native way is because it's silly :)
Would love to use Qt but haven't tried it yet - again due to keeping the
dependencies out of the equation.
However if you are developing for inhouse use only, those issues are easy to
settle and I'd prolly go for pymel coding and Qt interfaces :)
