It has multiple GUI APIs, some portable, some not so much. The ``standard'' GUI API tends to be CLIM which is codified in a standard of its own. If you want something more "modern", you can try Qt ports and similar stuff (also see some commercial implementations).

I don't care what you think or what other people think about the language. Either learn it or stop bitching about it you don't even know it. Lisp has got to be one of the more hated niche languages, yet almost all haters never even learned it, they tend to just get stuck on the syntax or some other trivial non-sense that no true
scotsm programmer would ever get stuck on then go and write inflamatory posts all over the Internet/Usenet/... Now if I think harder, I do know one single ``hater'' that actually knows the language well, but the reason he hates it has nothing to do with the language and everything to do with the fact that his employeers don't want him to use Lisp, so he tries to hate it otherwise he'll have to hate his employeers and quit his high paying job.
