I find GtkD + Glade rather good actually. The problem is that this is
not really a good direction for cross platform working since Gtk isn't a
widely supported framework.

Qt5 on the other hand is making great strides (now that it isn't a
Nokia/Microsoft technology). Go now has QML support and I am finding
this a nice combination.

Having QML support in D would be a good thing.

I haven't had time to work on the various QtD repositories to see if Qt5
and QML are or can easily be supported.
