Preparing to duck... Xojo is proprietary, free for non-commercial use, software platform that I'm told is quite similar to Visual Basic. I never used VB so I can't vouch for the similarities, but it looks similar. Usable on Linux, Apple, Windows, and also generates code for iPhone apps. I suspect its users are overwhelmingly Windows programmers and that windows is its native land. Very easy to learn and use, nice IDE. Has all the common widgets/controls you've come to expect. That said, I second the Lazarus recommendation, though my needs are simple enough that Tkinter suffices for me.
