I don't know about GSS*GKS, other than it is expensive.  As for the
MetaWINDOWs product, well....

1.  Expensive.
2.  90K TSR in the the non-royalty libraries, a linkable .LIB file in the
    royaltied library.
3.  Crappy support.
4.  Crappy upgrade policies.
5.  Good speed.
6.  Bad/inconsistent/outdated documentation.

Take a look at the GX Graphics Tool Kit, since it is supposed to be reasonably
nice.
