I've got a hefty Tk app and some miscellaneous utilities that I've been working on for some time. While I like Perl/Tk in general, I'm casting an adulterous eye on Gtk and Glade.

It seems that while Gtk hasn't been around as long, it has some advantages: it has more active development, and since it isn't created for a specific scripting language it doesn't go through the awkward translation process that Perl/Tk does when ever a new version is released.

I've written some trivialities in Gtk and played with the Glade design tools, enough to start evaluating the move seriously. Have any of you worked with both enough to have an opinion on the two? Are there other GUI packages I should consider instead?
