very flexible (xml-based) with productive/easy-to-use features like animations & layout-containers

CEGUI is very configurable and has professional-quality output. It's full of features and I love it! It's everything that SDL needed to beat the heck out of Allegro. This program takes a lot of the work out of making games. The tabbing, text boxes, etc. are all very useful tools.

Best game GUI I've worked with. Integrates nicely with Ogre and uses the same exception-based approach. OGS Mahjong uses CEGUI.
