Long term, probably. Short term, probably not. QtD is, from what I understand,
not very mature yet. I had a @#)#* of a time working through bugs, inadequate
documentation, missing features and general lack of polish in gtkD and DFL, and
those are (according to this page:
http://www.wikiservice.at/d/wiki.cgi?action=browse&id=GuiLibraries&oldid=AvailableGuiLibraries)
considered more mature than QtD.
This is not a knock on the developers of these libraries, as I understand that it
takes time to create a mature GUI library/binding and the situation is
continuously improving. It's just that it's hard to build on that
unstable/immature a foundation. Once QtD matures to at least the point of DFL and
gtkD, I'll seriously consider a port, but until then don't get your hopes up.
On the other hand, once I'm done refactoring things, I hope that the dflwrapper
and gtkwrapper files will serve as useful examples, so that others can contribute
the code to do a port. This should not be very hard for someone who already knows
a given GUI framework well to write. Basically, you just need to create a default
plot window and subplot widget, and wrap a few drawing primitives in a
compile-time interface.
