What's wrong with GTK? I don't care for it, but it is not any worse than
Microsoft's UI.

There are lots of alternatives. wxWidgets and Qt are the most common
suggestions, but there are far more esoteric ones. If you are aiming for
widest portability support, Qt is probably your best bet.

I don't care for it myself - because it is C++. I do not believe in OOP as a
decent paradigm for software development. I'm know I am in the minority, but
I am not alone. Even Google has reined in use of some of the worst features
of OOP. Programmers working for Google are not allowed to use exceptions.

Laters!
