SDL is a lower-level kit than Gtk+ or tcl/tk, and is more suitable
for doing "game-like" interfaces - non-rectangular toolbars,
full-color cursors, and the like. It can be more work, because
you have to do your own buttons, menus, etc.
It really depends on what you want to end up with. If you want a
game that looks like an office application, Gtk+ and tcl/tk will
do the job. If you want something that looks as little like an
office app as possible, then SDL will be easier to do it with.
