MIB Browser Recommendation

Wasn't there a nice one called Luna or something like that? 

After Net-SNMP, it was my favorite. I can't find it anymore though.

I've always wanted to write a new FOSS one in a modern framework (say, Qt).  Haven't had the personal time to do it though (and it's unlikely I could attract funding to do it in today's leaning toward other technologies).  tkmib, which comes with Net-SNMP, *probably* still works?  I actually haven't run it in a while myself.
