QT, Ruby and Rubyscript2exe is a great combination.  There is qt
designer for building the gui.  The widgets look good on windows.  All
that is required to get started on windows:

*)download the one click installer
*)download and install the qtruby gem

The only disadvantage that i can see:

*)is the licensing if you are not developing open source software.
*)once the script is packaged (so that you can use it on other PCs)
using rubyscript2exe there is a few seconds delay before the app is
loaded.
