I would recommend against SDL, because creating a decent GUI with it
will require a lot of work, and on top of it will give you a giant
window of raw graphics in the screen, which isn't very user-friendly
or impressive. SDL is good enough for games, but not for a GUI
application.

There used to be a GUI library for SDL called "ParaGUI" but its home
page is currently down. I'm not sure if it could fix all of SDL's
limitations in regards to its usability as a GUI platform.
