For much the same reasons, we're tentatively going with wxWindows-- we'd
like to use GTK+ very much, but as far as I know the Windows port isn't
very far along.  What we'd REALLY like to do is go with a GNOME approach,
but that's not usable under Windows yet.

Since both Linux and Windows are mandatory platforms for us, we're
unfortunately going to wind up going with the lowest-common-denominator--
which, in my opinion, is no way to develop software if you can avoid it.

With Harmony dead, it seems our efforts may go into helping port GTK+ to
Windows, but that's said with a shrug and a smile-- we may just have to 
settle for wxWindows as it sits.

What's developing for GTK+ been like for you?
