I write lot of small utilities on Windows and prefer to have a gui.

Gtkd is nice. Glade is awsome. but the runtime dlls are about 20mb, too much for a 1mb tool. For some reason the theming on Windows didnt work well for me.

Dwt is nice, but no glade like gui editor. when using dwt, I build gui manually.

Html css looks too different from native app. Opening and saving files is painful, nok.

Most of the time java, swing, netbeans works very well. Startup time sucks, so i just added an intrresting splash screen and people seemed to like it.

I have high hopes for dlangui, but it's still beta and has some bugs that's blocking me.

In conclusion, if startup time is important i use dwt. Otherwise java with netbeans.
