I have asked this question in a couple of different places so I figured to ask here as well. Which GUI toolkit do y'all recommend in terms of flexibility and ease of usage within Ruby? Looking around I have seen Ruby extensions such as Tk, Qt, Wx, and Fox. Out of these I checked out a Ruby/Tk API document on the Internet and created a business application for my work.

Then looking at Qt a little closer I see that there are licensing fees involved once and application reaches commercial status. That makes me a little wary. Then the Wx extension looks promising but perhaps a little immature as of now. Then Fox appears to be more comprehensive but a little less flexible than others.

Any feedback on my assumptions. Since I am new to this area of programming my assumptions might be off target...

Sorry. I left out one GUI toolkit. I also checked out GTK+. From what I have heard it's a little buggy on a Win32 platform, which is my primary audience...
