Some reason that we don't just copy Java for a standad C++ GUI? Or is there anyone who thinks they can improve on Swing?
IMHO, when talking about UI, we should consider Windows UI. Majority of the UI users are used to Windows look and feel and providing something like it would definitely appeal to most of the UI developers, including myself. Java AWT and Swing are not good examples to consider for UI design. Sun made a deliberate effort not follow the standards set by Microsoft and they haven't done a good job in providing an alternative. --Suman

As for GUI, the last time I saw a portable one, it sucked. Yes, I admit, it was 5 years ago, and it was AWT, so maybe thins changed drammatically? Are modern GUI libraries really able to produce _decent_ cross-platform GUI?
I believe AWT has been superceded by Swing:
