I hope I am wrong, but dlangui seems to be abandoned for
some time after all the hard work that went into it. I
really like it since it was easy to setup and get things
working.
In fact, I consider it the best option.
So, are you planning to fork it, and continue its development
as it was being developed by other developers?
If only I knew how. Even then, I would not fork it but rather
help out. Since making bindings to qt is a lot of work and
unlikely to happen any time soon, I planned to go with dlangui.
Have a look at:

GtkD is pretty stable I think. wxD should also be ok, though I
haven't tried it yet. Have a look at iup. The original is
supposed to be rock solid. Or try any other of the wrappers
listed there.
At this stage, I'd recommend you to go with a wrapper. Native D
GUIs come and go and you might get stuck. With wrappers you
know what you get and if there's anything missing, you can
interface to the original framework yourself.
GtkD has loads of the nice features that Gtk has, e.g. a source
code editor (with line numbers and syntax highlighting). You
can use Glade to build the interface (drag and drop):

Thanks for the insights.
