I think GtkD is stated to suck because it isn't native to Windows 
or Mac, both in look and availability. I've used DFL and DWT. DFL 
is fairly small in comparison. There is also Entice designer 
which is a graphical way to create a GUI. It outputs DFL and at 
DWT (when dwt was for D1, not in its current state). I usually 
use it just to find components to use.

DWT has been my favorite of all GUI's I've used. But I haven't 
attempted the same kinds of things which I've done in other 
toolkits.

The documentation on DFL isn't great, but it has some. DWT is the 
SWT documentation so it requires some language translation.

wxD is also updated for D2, I believe and moved
