my personal favorite right now is python.  the qt bindings are pretty
great if you are working on a *nix machine (not sure about osX and
win32 gui bindings sorry).  the only other scripting lang. i have gui
experience with is perl...and it hurt.  compared to python atleast ;) 
for example I worked on an app here that we used the qt gui designer
to build the interface, which then exported an XML file that python
can just slurp up.  it was quick, easy and quite responsive as well.
