    Why the FUCK do we need yet another windowing toolkit system? X11 came out first, I thought it was bad enough, then clever hackers decided to layer on KDE and GTK+. Now we have ANOTHER layer, incompatible with all other x11-toolkits. Can anyone justify another X11 WTK?

    On a side note, I've used wxWindows in Python and I must say I was definitely impressed how one wxWindows Python script can display identical windows on Mac OS, Linux, and Win32s. We need more of this cross-platform compatibility.
