Essentially you're saying that you would like a toolkit with a
lifetime of "forever" - which I can understand, but I also think
it is a bit unreasonable. The world changes and our software will
need to change with it. Not much, but some, every now and then.

We can be the most lazy if we have clever interfaces in the right
places. The PCB hid abstraction might well be just that. Yes,
implementation may diverge if there isn't a lot of development
going on, that's OK, life goes on.

That's a large project.

Yes. Did you look into fltk and solvespace?
