I've used FLTK too (I started with xforms because of its simple
GUI builder, then changed to FLTK because of its license and because
it's easy to port xforms stuff to FLTK). But the main problem IMHO
with FLTK is that it's easy to do simple apps, but as soon as
the apps get more complex, it's getting messy quite fast.

In new projects I'm using gtk. There's a very powerful GUI builder
too (glade), gtk has sophisticated widgets, there's a windows
port (granted, it's relatively new and relatively slow at this
time (more redraws than necessary)), and seems to have very active
development.
