GUI: Use existing, or write an own?

Hi,

I'm unsure to write an own GUI system or to use an existing. I tried to get cegui working with a simple irrlicht application, but I had never so much (technical) problems in following an easiest looking tutorial, so it reaches a state near 'disqualification' at the moment.
Are there alternatives outside, or is it better to write it for myself? The challenge I think is not the gui code, more the customization of the look.

building a GUI interface is not so hard in Irrlicht (without existing gui).. anyway you can use MFC with Irrlicht..

Yes, I see the GUI tutorial and have build a small dialog by myself. This is no large effort..

MFC is no option for me, but could I also use Qt? I think I have seen this anywhere, or I'm wrong?

I'am currently using WPF, though my game is coded in C# and i'am guessing your is in C++.
