There are a TON of gui toolkits out there.
Gtk, used with c, c++, perl, python, ... many language bindings
Gtk#, used with C#,VB.NET, gui builder is Glade. Comes with Monodevelop
Qt, used with c++,
Swing, used with java, warning SLOW
WxWindows, used with just about everything, very crossplatform
They are all easy to work with, it just takes two things to do so.
1. A good project, ie. one that is really suited to a GUI.
2. A lot of time, it takes a lot to get used to the event based
programming model that is the gui. Personally I find WxWindows very
easy but thats just me. It all comes down to your needs and your
experience.
A word of wisdom, OO is the easiest way to go, and perl is the easiest
of them all. It just comes down to which documentation you wish to
sift through.
