Never programmed a GUI from scratch before. But I need to be able to draw a map, zoom in/out, and select objects on the map itself. Which one of these languages should I look at to home me. Is there one that makes it simplest to do? What should I be looking at? What should I be looking at?
Zooming in and out is going to be the decider, I think. I know that's one thing that GTK+ is really, really bad at; and I think the reason it's bad is because of underlying issues with Win32. If either Qt or WxWidgets has cracked the "smooth zooming" problem, I'd be very interested to know.
