As the developer of wxEuphoria (wxeuphoria.sourceforge.net), I'm somewhat 
biased, but that's the library that I use.  I've also started an IDE to
go along with it.  The editor is based on the Win32Lib IDE's editor,
and the visual window builder doesn't work yet.  I don't think I've 
worked out all the bugs yet, but it's the editor I mainly use (both
windows and linux).
