For LodePaint it was this custom GUI, or GTK+. I chose the custom GUI.
IMHO that was a big mistake. At least, I have no interest in using your program based on this fact alone :)
Do you have some examples of big things missing in this custom GUI that make this a problem?
Simply "because it's custom" doesnt really help much. GTK, Qt and Java are also custom in some ways for example. So is the "GUI" of web-based applications such as the Gamedev.net forum... And many movie / mp3 players for PC.
What kind of things could users be expecting from a GUI that doesn't behave properly here?
I know there are some things that can be improved, such as the edit boxes, using tab to navigate to other fields, mnemonics for menus, etc..., and these things are possible and will be done, but knowing the most annoying / important ones is interesting to know where to put the priorities.
