I have to admit I'm a little biased towards Qt myself. I prefer it's 
API, and it has decent
I18N support. There may be some licensing concerns using it however.  It 
carries a dual
license, which allows free use within Open source efforts, but carries 
another license for
commercial efforts. I should point out that I don't personally find this 
unreasonable - the
Trolltech has every right to make money from their product which they 
support very well, IMO.
I do realize that for some, this could be a problem.
