Hi,
Actually, I think most dev is done in C, but anyway, a really nice tool to  
check out is Glade interface designer.
The resulting GUI can be used from many languages, a nice one to use for  
this is Python.
The nice thing is that you can actually write cross-platform programs  
using that combination. (As you can also with C of course, but you then  
need to cross-compile)

Cheers,

Richard
