Let's also not forget other languages have problems with gui-toolkits. For instance, gtk-ada binding has memory leaks. gtk-crystal binding is broken. I would like to see a binding to wxwidgets which is a very cool toolkit.
It seems to me the bindings are the symptoms and not the causes: the problem, to my humble opinion, is that for whatever reasons, we have a **lot** of toolkits trying to reinvent powder over and over. In Windows/Mac there's no problem since more-or-less they have standard controls, and anyone not using them is because they bypass them pursuing multi-platform support. In the nixes is more complicated since there were never standard/unified controls/guidelines. There are people who thinks diversity is a plus and there others stating standardization is the way forward. Like it or not, that is we have on the nixes.
