I'd like to publicly thank and commend Mike Wey for his hard work and perseverance on Gtkd.

It is now fully up-to-date with GTK3, and with it and D, writing GUI programs has rarely if ever been easier.

If you have not been there recently - http://gtkd.org.

Thanks Mike.

Yeah, there must be a reason GtkD was first on my mind when I
thought about which packages to add on Gentoo Linux.
A GUI toolkit is always great to show programs written in D to
others and build stuff that has a use for the average computer
user.

I've found GtkD by far the easiest D GUI library to build and use on Linux and Windows.

Thanks Mike!

Is it about time to replace digitalmars.D.dwt forum with a digitalmars.D.GtkD one and make it the official Gui for D?

I'm very happy with Gtkd.
My config:

Debian 7
dmd v2.064
GtkD 2.3.0

To put my money (or rather my time) where my mouth is, I've just done a short article 'Getting Started with Gtkd-2 - 101'. It's intended to be one of a series of about five that I hope will help to get beginners interested in D and Gtkd.

It can be found at http://britseyeview.com/software/articles/gsgtkd.html.

Same here! I used GtkD and could build a UI (using Glade) in no time. I really appreciate the work that has gone into it so that all the nice features of Gtk3 are available to D.
