I tend to agree here. These days, I think GNOME has "proven itself",
and I feel our best results are going to come from focusing on making
GnuCash a really well designed GNOME app. I think that trying to
maintain several gui toolkits, or even several substantially different
presentations within one toolkit is likely to dilute the overall
quality of all of them. For example, I'd really rather someone spend
time learning gnome-print and integrating that (presuming it is in
fact appropriate) than struggling to bring Y alternate interface up to
speed. I think we need that much more.
With respect to the "gui editors", I see them as interesting, but not
(yet?) particularly applicable. What I've seen looks more appropriate
for fairly simple apps, but probably wouldn't support what we do in
GnuCash all that well, and might easily play havoc with the guile
side. Feel free to prove me wrong, though. I haven't investigated
thoroughly.
