C++ GUI libraries

What's a good GUI library for C++?

-GTK has bad compatibility and many issues on windows
-QT is bloated and is designed to use its own build system and IDE
-wxWidgets is very convoluted and strangely designed
-FLTK is great, but lacks many important features, can be buggy, and is unpolished.

What do you guys think? I realize that Java's Swing libraries can solve all of my problems, but I want to try avoiding Java as much as possible.

Java Swing libraries can solve everything expect for flickering.

I've never had much flickering with Swing in the past.

I'm seriously considering using Java for my current project now, as all these C++ GUI libraries seem to be an absolute pain in the neck, except for FLTK, which lacks a bunch of features.

Is there really no sane GUI lib for C++?

no thankx

No such thing as a good one, but I'd say Qt sucks the least.

GTK

Wat about OpenGL?

I tried making one in SFML
Got buttons working, but couldn't really figure out anything else. Dropped the project soon after.

What don't you like about QT's approach? I enjoyed the single and slot system, it seemed it is the right abstraction for creating GUI's.

Had to make my own toolkit for a recent project, it was golden, no added complexity like theming or any of that bullshit, just nice flat fills, no unnecessary lines or borders, and as a result of all of this it was incredibly efficient...

I would love to reimplement something like it for the FOSS world since this particular one is part of a piece of custom software with restrictions on reuse of the code.

I like Qt itself, but I don't like how they push you to use their own tools to make your project. It's like OpenCV, it is designed to be the center of your project, whereas a developer may not want that.

If Qt didn't force you to use QTcreator/qmake/moc and related things, I'd definitely be using it.

Just look at FLTK: no nonsense and useless tools with ehavy overhead, just headers, static libraries, and documentation. Why can't Qt be like that?

Did you base it on OpenGL?
