I have used Wx, Tk, and Gtk+. I favor Wx, despite it's problems (dependency considerations can be annoying when pacakging), largely because it allows me to write a single app that looks native on Win32, Linux, and OS-X.

Tk apps always look like Tk (which is sometimes an advantage...). Gtk+ apps rely on appropriate Gtk themes being available for OS-appropriate look-and-feel.

So, my favorite is definitely Wx. However, my second choice is Tk for the utter consistency it can provide, which is advantageous when writing the kind of apps that will be used by the same user on many platforms.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
