To be entirely honest, I don't know.  I've just talked to people who
have made that comment.  It seems to be consensus.  It does seem like
atleast the breadth of the Python bindings are much larger.  They
include things like GStreamer bindings, which I don't believe that Perl
does.  I can't think of any large GNOME-Perl programs... but GRAMPS and
Straw both come to mind in the Python camp.

Many people are also saying that they like Mono and GTK# - I don't know
how I feel about the whole "Microsoft may come in and destroy
everything" issue about using C# though.  It seems like there are a few
applications starting to come out using Mono and GTK#, we'll see if it
catches on.

If you're doing small stuff, I'd definitely recommend Glade - it makes
life a lot easier.  It can get a bit cumbersome on large projects, but
sure makes that prototyping very easy.
