Cross platform GUIs is a very serious problem today and one without clear solution. I agree with everyone pushing the web interface but it does have it's limitations. Here's my suggestions (if a web interface doesn't work): 1. Give up. If you want a high quality GUI on multiple platforms give up trying a single solution and realize that you will need to implement the GUI in a native toolkit on each platform. Yes, this is a tremendous amount of work but, if you want high quality, it is the only viable solution. The difficulties can be partially ameliorated by proper abstraction and separation of GUI vs. non-GUI. 2. If it's simple, use Tk. Tk has major limitations and is totally unsuited for complicated modern interfaces. That being said, it is excellent for simple interfaces and is the closest thing to a cross platform toolkit we have. I've been using Tk with various languages for over a decade now and have managed to build some rather complicated GUIs/programs with it. For simple GUIs and rapid prototyping it has been a joy; for serious GUI work, a nightmare. 3. Pick whichever of the alternatives (see the rest of the thread) you think will suceed in the future and hope you're right. There is a definite need for a crossplatform GUI toolkit; Tk is no longer fulfilling that need, Java never did, and the other contenders are only satisfactory on a subset of platforms. Sooner or later one of these contenders or a new one will provide good functionality on all platforms. My guess is Fox but I'm not taking bets. c.
