I suggest you check this out then. The 'why' using php-gtk is
quiet obvious, it's PHP code after all which for some
reason we happen to know quite good. Also, if PHP-GTK works
on MacOSX we only need to maintain a single code base for the
GUI part (less errors).

This part is quite questionable. 'the best thing' for win32
could be also to use it's native interface technology. 'the
best thing' for unix could be argued to use KDE or Motiv ...
But if you want to work on your favourite GUI in the language
you know best, no one will stop you :-)
