Hi Edward,

In your place I'd stick with what I am comfortable with and let the
packages figure out how to get things into distributions, especially after
jaromils message.

But if you decide to go for a C++ frontend, then you might want to consider
Qt. It is probably a more beginner friendly option: It has good
documentation and works great with the Qt Creator IDE -- which also works
great for non-Qt C++ and C projects. So even for GTK projects it is a
decent IDE, even though you will need to run the UI designer as a separate
application.

Best Regards,
Tobias
