I have toyed with GtkD and is very promising and enjoyable.
You have Glade (installed separately) that is the interface 
designer. With my current project, however, I am writing it all 
in D code... very easy and readable so far. :-)

However, I have only compiled/run my examples on Linux. I do not 
know how they would turn out when running on Windows 10. I have 
heard GTK doesn't always look as nice on Windows or Apple but 
this may have been common in the past... or depends on what you 
are adding to the Window/Form.

(It seems like we are in a similar boat about using D on Windows 
systems. I have recently created a question about vibe.d on 
windows. lol. I am hoping that Dlang, for the most part, will be 
my answer to the 'one great language' of mine for multiple 
platforms)
