No, D should not forget DWT. It's one of the few (they only?) D GUI
toolkit that has a native look and feel.
Apart from GtkD on GTK+ systems, and dqml, QtE5, qtD, and dqt on Qt,
and wxD on wxWidgets. Qt and wxWidgets pride themselves on being able
to use native frameworks underneath – I have no personal evidence as I
only use GNOME, I am not a good data point.
Qt is well-known for going to great lengths, and achieving at least a
certain degree of success, to have a native look-n-feel. (Regardless of
how well they may or may not have succeeded compared to wx). It is a
key, deliberate goal for Qt.
GTK, OTOH, is famous for its outright CONTEMPT for native look-n-feel.
It's even true just on Linux itself: Qt makes attempts to fit in on
Gnome/Unity. Gtk not only doesn't, but also unapologetically killed off
the most popular and widespread Qt/KDE-compatability module in *a mere
POINT RELEASE*. And then they proceeded to rationalize it. And not one
of them ever did move one muscle to rectify it, or even acknowledge any
possibility of making a questionable move. (And don't even get me
started on the multi-decade clusterfuck that is the GTK file-chooser.)
Qt makes effort for native look-n-feel.
GTK is INFAMOUS for having outright CONTEMPT for native look-n-feel.
There is NO comparison, whatsoever.
