As a user I'm finding much of the open source GUI stuff that I download
and have to compile is written with wxWindows. I suspect that that is
because many open source programmers dont have the full, pay for Qt
libraries to develop with. wxWindows has bindings for Python, Perl and
C++. It's web page http://www.wxwindows.org now seems to redirect to
http://www.wxwidgets.org
Using wxWindows your one app will work on Linux, MacOSX and Windows.
What about Mono? Apparently the latest version (1.2) completely implements
the System.Windows.Forms API. This should mean you can write cross-platform
apps that run on both Windows and Linux, right? I'm not sure about MacOSX
support but if anyone is using this I would love to be enlightened!
