There's the Tk toolset, which can be used by many languages, including perl, c, etc.

If you are already doing shellscripts, you may want to look into using

cdialog

(

to create shellbased GUI frontends.

You might want to look into glade or kdevelop, they are both great. Glade works almost like the form designer in VB but without the ide it has bindings for a ton of languages as well check it out here It helps in building interfaces quickly.

Kdevelop is a great IDE that can be used in conjunction with some tools from trolltech for vb/vc type functionality.
