"Easiest" and "best" are both very subjective. However, my earlier
GUI-building attempts were with perl (and later python) + Tk. I put
together a cellular automata toy in C++ and then interfaced it to
python for the GUI, which worked nicely and wasn't too difficult.
It's perhaps not as "good" as using a toolkit like Qt (or GTK+ or
whatever), but it *does* allow you to do pretty rapid development of
the GUI. It's also useful to learn if you think you might want to put
together scripts that use a GUI, since Tk's pretty easy to use.
