U++ is an excellent toolkit, it takes a while to get used to their whole transfer-semantics 
thing, but once you do it's a pleasure. The code is really short and easy to read.

For GUI app development I'd pick U++/C++ over D any day.

(a few years ago, I implemented a 3D height map editor with support for "infinitely" big 
terrains, WYSIWYG editing/texturing and a lot of other stuff in U++)
