For those of you who do real world software development and in particular, who develop GUIs:

What are your experiences/recommendations for a GUI toolkit?

Constraints:
  • C/C++
  • Cross-platform development (Linux/MacOS preferred)
  • Windows QA/Deployment
  • OpenGL (dynamic) compatible
Questions:
  1. How well does resulting UI conform to deployment platform's look & feel
    • Native mode UIs
    • OS targeted look/feel emulation
  2. What are the implications of deployment/licensing?
    • Customer is fed govt (DoD/DHS)
    • LGPL licenses should be "ok"?
    • binary distributions?
  3. Are there commercial packages that are (well) worth their cost?
  4. Does the UI have a (useful) GUI builder?
  5. Do the toolkits that use preprocessors add too much complexity?
Some Obvious Candidates:
Any experiences or opinions?
