    I generally go for FLTK. I was not particularly keen on its layout system (Fluid), so I developed FL_Flow and FL_Flex. Actually, these were both ported from my internal GUI system.

    I've been using nanogui[0] to fit the bill for personal uses.

    To be honest though, I'm at the point where I'd really prefer an easy and lightweight library to setup a http and/or websocket server, and just make a ui in the browser. I've got a simple use case -- I'm just making a simple scene editor & debugging ui for a toy ray tracer.

    I know there are a ton of different libraries out there for the task, but that just makes it hard to evaluate the quality of any given library. I haven't given any a shot, I've only gone so far as to look at them and ponder what the size of the user base is, and question if the project will go inactive in a couple years. Or if it's going to require me to pull in some other host of dependencies.

    Recommendations from HNers welcome!
