This is because a main "competitor" is in Python and while I find Python fine and well for console and administrative jobs, I think it lags behind for anything too complex (GUIs and beyond).
In fact I think it even lags for web application on large scales, reddit doesn't seem too responsive lately.
The front page should mention prominently that the application is in C++

No it's not.
And please, don't attack others directly.
qBittorrent is a GUI. It's written in C++, using the Qt toolkit.
Underlying, it uses libtorrent, which is also C++. libtorrent does all the hard work, while qBittorrent provides an easy UI.
Python is used only for specific tasks, like the Search.
@Tobindax: To be honest, I think it's almost the same. UI does not need that much CPU power anyway, so even Python can drive it pretty well. Unless they use Java or C# for the GUI/whole application, it won't be slow. But sure, make a ticket on github, and Chris may edit the homepage.
