MagicUserInterface (MUI) is still the primary toolkit on MorphOS, in addition to being the go-to toolkit for many newer Amiga programs as well.
When it was released in 1993, it was very modern. Object-oriented, scalable layout, simple to program, themeable and very customiseable. I wouldn't be surprised if the developers of Qt, Gtk and SwiftUI would reveal that they would have taken inspiration from it.

This is gorgeous. Well done!
My only nitpick is that MUI is already the name of an Amiga GUI toolkit. A widget lib named libmui is not what I’d think it was.

gtk+/gnome folks were apparently at least vaguely aware of Amiga MUI e.g. discussing it in a context of implementing theming/styling in Feb 1998 -
