Why use a native toolkit ? why not use Java, works great, it's fast and easy to mantain (lots more than c or c++), runs not only in Linux and Windows but all platforms and it's very easy to create complex interfaces.
I made something like a 'schematic capturer' in Java which I could share, but was made for power systems (unilineal drawings). A lot of work has been make in Java and there are libraries for virtually anything, that speeds up the development of anything a lot.
