GTKmm is based on some very nice C++ abstractions around pointers,
providing many of the same benefits as any managed language with
pure C++.  They are called smart pointers and for GUI development,
they work very very well.

Isn't "smart pointers" just a reference counting scheme?

Yup.  Poor-man's garbage collection.  Turns out to be just the ticket,
though, for GUI programming.  Because of that, I'd put productivity with
GTKmm to be right up there with PyGTK or GTK#.
