I've been learning Qt for the past few weeks and I really like it. It is very easy compared to some of the other toolkits I've tried. The documentation is wonderful, as well.

I looked into this for my major project for uni.

It was impossible to go past QT.

The reasons:

* object orientated
* mature code
* excellent documentation
* objects have parents that cleanup for you, therefore no memory leaks. i.e. more time coding, less time going over code.
* many others I can't think of now.

BUT, it would depend on what you are used to, structured programming (C - GTK) or object orientated programming ( C++ - QT).

i really like qt and gtk (... more of gtk), they are quite mature and object-oriented, but one lack is - bigger apps made with these kits are quite resource-hungry, ... fltk stands out, but then again it is not as mature as gtk (or) qt :(

I too am looking for a tool kit, but not for anything major, just to play around with.
TK just doesn't cut it for the really nifty stuff anymore. :p
I was thinking GTK because almost everybody has it installed... SO I can reach a larger group of people.
Comments are greatly appreciated.

I've got minimal experience with GTK, but it has bindings to numerous languages now. The latest I've seen are Python and even PHP.

QT might be easier/better, but it appears that GTK is quite extensible now.
