More than Lisp? Yeah, I know the language itself is easy, but parenthesis might kill you...

That's why I like Qt, it keeps the C++ simple. Nearly everything has an ordinary OO structure. Templates are only used where necesssary, and only in a straightforward way.
Good point. A nice follow-up to this statement is the article in Qt Quartely by Matthias Ettrich: http://doc.trolltech.com/qq/qq13-apis.html

Combined with Qt, I can think of no other language I would rather use for desktop application development than C++.
Python+Qt is a nice combination as well
