Depends what language your using and how much gui you need. If its quick 
and simple you can beat Tk (Tkinter in python) or possibly wxWindows 
although im less experienced there. Qt is amazing for doing complex 
guis (ive been using it for an image correction application im writing 
as a research peoject) and if your unix then the kde libraries (a 
superset of qt essentially) provide some really really powerful 
facilities (xmlgui, really powerful dialogs, ioslaves). My current 
application uses KDE/Qt and renders its image output to an opengl 
context. This gives the added bonus of being able to use pixel shaders 
for cool effects.
