Seriously, both cells-gtk and Cello sound like something worth looking
at for someone interested in "normal" graphical user interfaces.

But perhaps I also like CLIM, now based on GTK+ and Cairo. Full command
objects, true presentations, access to many Lisp libraries, and terrific
portability (it works on my Linux), sockets not something it cares
about, but has threads, a flexi-trivial dired, and no Tcl at all.

CG is just win32 and for all I know they have more users on
Gtk (or not doing GUIs at all).

Allegro 8.0 has a GTK+-based CG for Linux.
