Every time I see something like this I think back to the glorious days of Borland Delphi with it's beautiful drag&drop GUI builder.
There was just something so natural about the way you could quickly throw together a UI and then hook everything up to it.
It says MIT license. I'm not so good with comprehending licensing terms. PySide2 [0] is under >GNU Library or Lesser General Public License (LGPL), Other/Proprietary License (LGPL) So, is it okay for Guietta to be MIT? [0] https://pypi.org/project/PySide2/
Apart from that, this seems to be a wrapper on top of PySide/QT to speed up development of basic forms. I don't find it particularly attractive, I have a feeling one will have to drop into QT as soon as requirements get slightly complex. Then again, if it gets more people to approach QT and desktop GUIs in general, it's welcome.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Qt has both Qt Designer and Qt Creator to build GUIs with drag and drop.
It's not just the drag and drop, it's the drag and drop and edit (single) callback. Like drag a button in the middle, resize it, change the text and then right-click and start coding what pushing it does. Now a days it's not push button but mouse over, mouse down, mouse up, press, long press, triggered, etc. etc. and I have to manually find or create the right source code file linking itself to the GUI form file.

Omg that sounds amazing.
Never quite a polished as Borland's offering of yesteryear (the GUI editor always felt clunky) but it's perfectly do-able.
Thought I'd mention that as it might be something useful to others.

AFAIK a library that uses LGPL3 modules without any modification is allowed to be licensed differently, provided that the final product allows the LGPL3 modules to be recompiled and/or swapped for others and that the source for the LGPL3 modules is provided.
I'm still confused though. If I create an application using Guietta, do I have to follow MIT or LGPL3 terms?

Lazarus(open source and cross platform) is there, alive and thriving, actively developed and used. https://www.lazarus-ide.org/
Too bad, Pascal is not really popular. If only there were similar thing (cross-platform GUI library) but for Go or Rust languages.
