For Windows DFL is quite nice and working well (I've used it in 
several projects).

For multiple platforms DLangUI is very cool, I don't see why 
people continue starting their own reimplementations of the same 
stuff DLangUI already has.

Next month my company is releasing a commercial product based on 
DLangUI.

This question is raised here quite often. The usual answer is 
there is GtkD already, and no other project can really became a 
standard for two basic reasons:
1) it will be too fat to be included in Phobos,
2) there will never be consensus about GUI toolkit, how it should 
look and behave. All of them have some quirks and usually no 
crossplatform toolkits look native enough. Heck, on 90% of 
desktops there is no notion of "native" anymore, native GUI look 
changed so many times in Windows.
