Perfectly valid decision.

For my own desktop apps, I'd choose Qt, since cross platform support is top notch.

With that said, I understand that nowadays, C++ developers are harder to come by, and memory corruption issues are not fun to work with.

I started working with C++ several months ago, mostly due to curiosity.

Though I haven't done anything that I would consider extremely complex, memory corruption seems easy enough to deal with by planning.

Maybe because it is so ingrained as whenever I heard discussions of C++, memory (de)allocation and memory corruption was always the first thing people talked about. Dealing with de-allocation feels like closing a curly brace, almost automatic.

Qt is very doable from Python these days. I've found it quite nice to work with. I would guess you still have a bigger pool of engineers to draw from with web tech though.
