The widgets too limited and I don't like the API, using it feels like a
hack (maybe personal preference)

Portability is not the problem, the problem is, it takes time and as I
mentioned if you need it fast or don't want to invest the time or you
need lots of widgets, that makes no sense. I though it might workout for

Qt, has a ton more widgets and is incredibly powerful in combination
with Qml (also QWebKit, but Gtk provides that, too).

When I played around with tk, it looked like crap on Windows and my
