I've tried a whole lot of these GUIs, and Pybliographer (http://pybliographer.org/) is by far my favorite. Pybliographer is written in Python, but with a Gnome GUI. I don't know if it actually needs more than the GTK libraries. If it does, then that should be fixed, as there's really no reason it shouldn't run on other platforms. In any event, Pybliographer is in active development and has a responsive mailing list. And since it's written in Python, it's pretty easy to hack on it.
Before I started with Pybliographer, I used TkBibTex, which is written in Tcl/Tk. It's a bit old now, but still works reasonably well.
