I don't want you to switch to the aqua/mac-look. I want you to switch to a 
nice gui.
You don't need to use qt or gnome. You don't need to have a super-duper-styled 
gui. Actually pixmaped guis are bad, so much for the moog-approach...

But do yourself and your apps users a favor and follow some hig-rules. And use 
a layout that is re-sizable at least in some extend. And (dynamic) 
font-resizing is one of the small features (in a good toolkit that one 
comes "for free", you don't need to do anything) that improve usability a lot 
without adding much work...
