There is even a way to build GUI applications with Ada that run in
*both* Unix and Windows. I use TASH, an Ada binding to TCL/TK, a script
language. Both the binding and TCL/TK are free, I recommend you also use
Visual TCL to build your GUI. 

Disadvantages:
You have to learn TCL, but it is a very simple language.
Advantages:
Compile your Ada source for Unix, Windows or Mac, use your TCL code in
Unix, Windows or Mac. No additional porting required!! Easy GUI
building: not as easy as Visual Basic, but at least as easy as building
GUI apps in (Visual) C++, for example. TCL/TK and most tools (Visual TCL
e.g.) are freeware.
