Stay away from Suntools.  I have done programming in it and it is a pain.
It is unobject oriented and it is hard to make a standard widget or
even adapt the current ones to do what you would like without 
severe headaches.

Anyway, SUN is converting to X in the near (or far?) future.

I think the Xtoolkit is at least adaptable from other accounts
(still not wonderful).  And MOTIF etc. will be available which
gives you a large set of widgets from HP/DEC etc.
