I generally don't do GUIs for C. But I'm also an embedded C person.
When I have I'll generate DLLs for the C portion then just pull them into a python based interface or something with easier to deal with gui implementations.
Programming languages are tools. Would you use a wrench to drive a nail? You could. But it would be painful, you're gonna miss and whack your hand at least once.
If it's a learning exercise, go for the C implementation, why not? I've written an XML parser in LabVIEW. (I never stopped to ask whether I should...) Is that the right tool for the job? Fuck no.
If this is an exercise in software engineering be an engineer and use the 99% already built and verified system to do the job it's meant to.
Or you can write an entire theme park simulator in assembly because you like pain or something.
Say what you will, but that was an economically viable route to take. I'm still in love with TTD and RCT2.
