Java might be a good choice. Yes, there are performance concerns with
Java GUIs, but done right you can deal with most of those. Gives you
the option of switching OSs later should you decide that serves you better.
I agree with Larry... if you can stay away from C/C++ at this point,
you'll probably be happier for it. 4GL's like Java are up to the
challenge these days, why not let them save you from some hassles?

I think I would, at this time, continue to recommend, at least
initially, one of the scripting languages as a good place to start
learning about writing GUI applications. Certainly after you've
developed a prototype, you could then make the determination as to what
pieces need to be rewritten in C or C++ for performance reasons.
While certainly one could write GUI apps in C or C++, I wouldn't wish
that on anyone as a place to start. Play with something lighter weight
first, to gain an understanding of issues, design concerns, etc. and
then look into something else only if needed.

What programming language do you know now? Many programming languages
have the means to create GUIs. So you should first learn a programming
language, then find a GUI for that language.
If you have no programming experience, then you need to decide whether
this is something that you are going to start a business around, or if
this is a hobby/personal tool you are going to write. If the latter,
then I'd recommend learning one of the scripting languages - Tcl,
Python, Ruby, Perl - or even consider doing something with a web
interface, using PHP or some other web framework. The advantage of
using the web interface is that most of the gui framework is done in
your web browser of choice...
