textual
Lean TUI application framework for Python. Build sophisticated terminal user interfaces with a simple Python API. Run your apps in the terminal and a web browser.
for Python GUIs I recommend considering a console-based GUI using the excellent Textual: https://textual.textualize.io/
this is the most modern GUI (in a console or not) framework you'll find for Python right now.

flet
Flet enables developers to easily build realtime web, mobile and desktop apps in Python. No frontend experience required.
Well I haven't seen anyone mention Flet, which is pleasant (if maybe not all that complete) if you have Dart/Flutter experience, so increment your counter at least one. :-)

I think that tkinter is "good enough" for most cases that need a GUI in pythonb these days (for more complex stuff you'd better go with either a web app or a compiled language that creates normal desktop apps).
As a showcase I've built two simple utils with python and tk (and pyinstaller):
- https://github.com/spapas/pdfmerger a simple tool to merge pdfs into one
- https://github.com/spapas/pomo ; a simple pomodoro timer

I love gooey: https://github.com/chriskiehl/Gooey
It allows me to quickly slap a GUI on an existing script that accepts command-line-arguments. In the end, I get the best of both world: Discoverability from the GUI, automation through the script, and automatic feature parity between the two.
Downside: Control over the GUI layout is basic, and only "standard" GUI features work, but I never felt limited when using it.

I’ve heard good things about https://build-system.fman.io/, though I haven’t used.

My guilty secret is to use Excel for my quick and dirty GUIs. I wrote a library to make that easy if you know C++. https://github.com/xlladdins/xll.

Anyone has some experience with Kivy [1]? It seems that it checks off some of my requirements, like cross-platform, supporting touch interfaces, ease of development, allows complex/fancy UIs as well, etc.

I like to use GoVCL [0] as it provides the GUI of Lazarus [1] including drag-n-drop form designer but with Go as the main language.
GoVCL's author built a C library called liblcl [2] which is what GoVCL uses to control the GUI, so if you know C you can use it instead of Go.
I'm building a lightweight Steam chat client with GoVCL so that I don't need the official client that takes like 200-300mb ram just to show text [3].

"The problem" might be that people in this thread and others get frustrated because others have different goals than them.
Of course Electron is overkill for a single-button application. But Visual Basic is absolutely going to be a headache if you want a custom GUI.
Pick the tool that's right for the job!
I build this with Electron: https://videohubapp.com/
