[help]Developing Graphical Apps

I am learning C/C++ slowly(for now) -

I was wondering if programming graphical Windows and Linux/BSD X apps were much harder...

Right now all I have the desire to build are DOS and Console based apps, is there something wrong with me?

Can't say about X11, but under windows you'll have to climb a steep learning curve. C/C++ for graphical apps is the New York equivalent: If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. Picking RAD tools and languages instead would limit you to rapid prototyping and possibly drive you into a dead end.

There's nothing wrong with you if you shy away from the "GUI" - getting sure handed on console apps first is the best thing to do, like getting steady on classic acoustic guitar before joining a metal band.
