[...] I think it's cultural. Windows GUIs (atleast till recently) all use the Microsoft sanctioned set of widgets and controls and the ecosystem around it so it was the "one way" to develop apps there. Things are different now with cross platform widget sets. In the free software desktop market, there's a lot of choice which results in multiple options. -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
