It's more like WP than WIMP, but I agree that the current route looks a bit WIMPy to me. There are two intentions involved in swk: one is to have something like a modern curses replacement that runs in graphical mode (this isn't achieved yet), another one is to have a very simple toolkit for mobiles, because it's quite a nightmare to work with existing ones for rapid prototyping unless you don't want to use something very heavyweight like Qt. Architecturally I prefer the current approach to begin with, adding message passing or event protocols can be added on top of this, if one really wants to imitate channels and devices like in rio -- though swk doesn't sound like the right place anyways for this.
