C++ and Java are programming languages, not GUI libraries. There
are propably hundreds of different GUI libraries that can be used
from C++ or Java programs.
And also these GUI component libraries are just tools with which
you implement the GUI. They should not affect the usability of the
interface at all.
First you design the GUI (and during this design process you either
make a good UI or not) and then you implement it in the language
and GUI component library of your choice.

Study user interface design! You don't make good user interfaces
by just slapping whatever components you need to a window. There
are a lot of books available on this topic.
