GTK is horrid on OSX, and I've had performance issues with it. I was interested in dlangui, it has promise, but I don't really want to rely on a library designed by one person that reinvents everything. It's guaranteed that that one person will want to move on at some point, and I don't want

For some time now I have been trying various GUIs options in D. I came to settle on gtkd and dlangui(stability is not my current priority). In YHO, what keeps you from using any of those fully(mostly)? Gtkd first, followed by dlangui. I need to know what I am signing up for.

Qt is the defacto portable standard +1 GTK is crap, and dlangui is single-man project, and also look not very native.
