I can't give you a definitive answer, but it is likely to be problematic. It may work if you restrict your use of 3rd party GUI components to the scope of a single call to your add-on, i.e. don't try to create modeless elements that hang around between calls.

For the sake of consistency and compatibility, I recommend sticking with the GUI functionality provided by GS.

I don't know of anyone who ever tried that. This question raises the same issues as MFC on Windows.

The basic rule is (as Ralph said): Do only modal dialogs.

You'll also be restricted in functionality, like using attribute popups.

Best,
