Open GL is a graphics library that mainly emphasises 3D rendering. However you seldom want an application that consists purely of a window containing a 3D scene. Open GL has a few 2D functions that allow you to add GUI type components on top of a window. The problem is you've got to write everything from scratch, such as the code to add the highlight and lowlight to your buttons. That tends not to matter so much for games, where you want the GUI to have a customised, fun look and feel. But for serious applications you want the reverse, the same look and feel as the desktop. So the Open GL route isn't a good one.
