I've been writing a desktop application with Kivy for the past few months. It has pros and cons.

The biggest con I have found is that because it's geared mostly for mobile it doesn't natively support multiple windows. There are work around to this, including the way that I solved it here... https://medium.com/@PhilipAndrews/the-kivy-frontier-multiple....

But aside from that it's so easy to get a reasonably good looking application up and running.

Would I recommend it for cross-platform app development? I can't say with confidence.

For quick roll-out or prototyping? Yes, definitely.

I really hope this community grows over time. The people working on the framework have been very responsive when I've had questions.
