PyQt is nice, but damn, the other two are ugly slow dogs.

I just removed Air yesterday, and Appcelerator needs a bit more work.

Air isn't the snappiest, but it works, and you can easily hire programmers to continue developing in it.

Appcelerator I'm less certain on, but they do seem to keep tossing effort at things.
