In this case we should choose carefully what's in the list.
Some of them are in IMHO not in line with the quality standard of Harbour.
It would be a pity that a bad experience with one of these GUIs will
"translate" to Harbour.

Gimp has a strange interface by itsef.
I've tried xhgtk samples under XP and I find it perfectly integrated.
Of course native would be better but xhgtk exist today, is documented
since it follows closely the GTK standards and you can use glade to
create screens.

I'm more interested in web apps so I would probably not use xhgtk
anyway but it seems to me a good example of what Harbour can do and is
the closest thing to a multiplatform GUI we have around.
