   Programming any GUI is complicated: working with X[*] on Unix/Linux is   
   not easier (and can be much harder, depending) than working with GDI   
   on Windows.   
      
   For command line programming, Unix/Linux and Windows use different   
   APIs, but the complexity of just using OS calls is roughly equivalent.   
      
   YMMV,

   [*] typically using high(er) level Qt or GTK libraries - very few   
   people stoop to using the raw X API nowadays.
