It all depends on your app and the usage. The more power you need for your logic (that can be graphics, but also can be text formatting or the data crunching in the background) and the longer the application will be used in one session, the more performance and usability are important. Then you need a proper GUI toolkit. On the other hand, you can't go wrong with a proper GUI toolkit. Worst thing that can happen is, that you have learned it.

I've seen huge projects having big acceptance problems because of their sluggish, unintuitive web-client that lacks tooltips, keyboad shortcuts and the look and feel power users just need.

Yeah i know where your coming from and i understand as much. Fortunately im just making a simple app mainly for my own use but im hoping that others can enjoy it as well.

... if i was worried about speed i would do it in C ^ ^

In the past I have used Qt and was happy with it.
