I've been out of the GUI scene for a long time, but I will say I've been hella-impressed with some of the more modern Qt tech.

QML gives you JS for the view layer (and some logic if you desire), and a declarative way to lay out your UI. I think it's worth a comparison as a reasonable way to quickly iterate on a UI while having something very lean and portable as the output product.



Wait, isn't Qt proprietary? I feel like that kind of vendor lock-in alone disqualifies it for a lot of use cases...

There seems to be a dearth of actually open, native, and cross-platform GUI toolkits.


Qt is a mix of LGPL for the core, and GPL for some of the "value-add" modules (for which there's a commercial license available for those who can't live with GPL requirements).
