We all have our favorite GUI toolkits. However, I feel that DotGNU
needs to recommend an official preference. So here are some problems
with a couple of the well thought-of possibilities:
* GTK
Cygwin. Plus, it's ugly.
* Qt
Wonderful, but not cross-platform (w/o Cygwin? on Windows, X on OS X).
* wxWin
Same problems as AWT in JavaTM.
So I propose two other possibilities:
* A portable written-from-scratch toolkit, like JavaTM Swing, that
only uses low-level underlying drawing mechanisms.
* Tk. I can't think of a more portable graphical toolkit.
* Add yours here.

Sometimes I think that perhaps one of the best things I could do with
my life is: find a gigantic pile of proprietary software that was a
trade secret, and start handing out copies on a street corner so it
wouldn't be a trade secret any more, and perhaps that would be a much
more efficient way for me to give people new free software than
actually writing it myself; but everyone is too cowardly to even take
it.
