Well, can't speak for how useful it is with Ruby, as I haven't tried it
yet, wxWidgets is a very powerful GUI library, easily as featureful as
GTK2, QT3, etc. One strength of wxWindows is that it runs on all 3 major
platforms and uses native widgets on each (GDI on Windows, Cocoa on OS X,
GTK2 on *nix)
