I prefer working in the Python3 branch. The newer facilities are nice, and I have no legacy code to maintain (a rare luxury

Allow me to insert my gratuitous self-promotion here AND answer your question.
It just so happens I've written quite a few Python programs and I own a RPi -- anyone who knows anything about RPi knows that you refer to it as RPi.
The thing is if you are trying to do stuff with a UI, then you are probably looking for Tkinter help. Tkinter is ugly. But, my point -- and I do have one -- is that my simple Tkinter examples, which I wrote on a PC with Python work with no changes on the RPi.
Here's my self promotion: My book at amazon.com Learn Python, Think Python[^].
For all you downvoters: I'm answering a question about RPi. I really am.

I have called my Raspberry Pi many things. Some of them are not printable.

You are going to have to start referring to it as RPi, okay?
Otherwise I will think of you as a nube.

Yes o' master of RPi willco

I haven't done much that is interesting with the RPi, unfortunately.
I have learned how to connect it directly to my PC via ethernet so I can SSH directly to it and don't have to have a separate screen. I need to work with the GPIO but I've been lazy so far.

Clearly, you've never done any hardcore JavaScript development.

I use JavaScript only if I have to, but it is looking more and more there is no escaping it.

That was sarcasm. Yes I have wrestled the great bear JavaScript.

For what it's worth, you can also program it with C/C++.
I use the same IDE (Code::Blocks) in Windows, x64 Linux and on the RasPi. In combination with wxWidgets and a wx design tool of your choice it makes for nice suite.
The only thing I'm missing is a socket library on the old version of Raspian that I have.

This might seem minor, but....
I have VS2012 on my PC. I installed VS2013 last week... and they changed the text of one of the checkboxes at the bottom of the Start Page.
in VS2012 is says
"Close page after project load"
I unchecked it so the page stayed open
now, in VS2013, it says
"Keep page open after project loads"
Again, I unchecked it without looking and didn't realize they had changed it, so it closed the start page as soon as my project opened...WHICH IS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT THAN HOW VS2012 WORKS
HEY MICROSOFT!!! STOP ELEPHANTING CHANGING THINGS!!!
That is SOOOOOOOOO annoying when the do crap like that.
I'd really like to hear the HMFIC at MS explain the rational as to WHY this had to change.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Yes, and sometimes very hard to explain why it is 'a big deal'.

Because they knew from their records that it would annoy you in particular. It works as normal for the rest of us!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

There's probably truth to that

Just because you are paranoid...

Been there, done that. A long time ago, on a product far, far away...
The project manager, "Steve", insisted that we add a checkbox that would have us issue an "Are you sure?" prompt for a certain action. Since this action was supposed to be used to stop the equipment in the event of a failure, we thought this was stupid. Since he was the project manager we had to do it anyway.
I added a little Easter egg to the application. If the machine name was anything other than StevesPC, the label on the checkbox was something like "Confirm fast stop". If the machine name was StevesPC, the label was "Steve mode".
