I've wanted to use this for a while, but I've always wanted something not requiring a web browser and not a pain to set up on SBCL (McCLIM has one dependency that always causes compilation errors, but I forgot it's name since it's been a while since I've tried using McCLIM on SBCL -- in the end I use CCL for anything CLIM-related). This also rules out using Qt at all. No idea about GTK but CFFI bugs in Lisp are always difficult to debug -- not really Common Lisp's fault, FFI in general leads to difficult-to-debug problems in the future.
That leaves me with... Ltk (Lisp bindings for Tcl/Tk), shelling out thousands of dollars for LispWorks, or using something like ABCL and Java Swing.
... I guess I'll just use Clog anyway :)
