I actually think MaxGUI is working rather well.
There are countless issues and you need to perform workarounds all the time, but it's still way better than anything I've tried, and I use Java's excellent GUI system at work everyday.
MaxGUI is just smarter and simpler than anything else.
But yes, a non-native GUI system would be nicer. You could still get acceleration by using native Win32/Whatever as a GUI render or you could use Max2D or whatever. A GUI rendering system with pluggable renders would rule as a matter of fact :)
