It is entirely conceivable that a portable GUI library could
be developed in C++ that would rival C# and any other language in
flexibility, performance, robustness, and elegance.This has not
happened yet.

Sure it has... Qt by TrollTech!

I had Qt in mind when I wrote what I wrote. ;)

Granted, they do add some new keywords to C++ and thus require you to run a
preprocessor before the compiler, but that's pretty painless when using a
"make" process. Perhaps this detracts from it's "elegance..."

Wasn't aware of the keyword additions. My gut feeling is that it is
possible to find a regular model for GUI programming with no
modifications to the langauge whatsoever.

I did, however, look at bit at Qt code, and while it is much better
than using the Windows API in the raw, I didn't get goosebumps.
