Totally agree. One problem with Windows API is that even porting to WinCE is a huge pain (or even between compilers). All that energy is IMO much better spent on GTK or QT.
The next big feature for a GUI is remote support, like X Window. I'm not sure how QT shines here, but GTK must support it somehow because it's based on X. (it's another question I got completely lost when trying to create a test setup with Windows client and Linux (or Darwin) X server.) This way you can get a proper GUI through the net, so you don't need Terminal Server, fragile and slow data connection.
