Hi

- Gtk2Hs had better support, but now wxHaskell has more maintainers and
situation may change to opposite in a next few months

As long as Duncan is around, there will always be enough Gtk2Hs
support! Currently Gtk2Hs _has_ better support, the situation may
change or may not. Remember that Duncan is not the only Gtk2Hs person,
merely the most active :)

- wxHaskell provides more native look&feel

Definately true. For GuiHaskell
(http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~ndm/projects/guihaskell.php) I was
able to get it quite Windows looking with a bit of help from Duncan.
As a result of the attempt to make it more Windows like a few Gtk bugs
were filed, and it does appear that better Windows GUI styles are
something that is already in a Gtk release.

third: are there any "appetizers" demonstrating features of each
library and with source code available for studying? except for
memory.pdf which don't mention where full source can be downloaded

The full source code of GuiHaskell is available.

The one thing you should be aware of is that Windows + Threading +
Gtk2Hs + Gtk + GHC = Pain. I suspect the same equation holds for
wxHaskell as well. Ask Duncan for more information if this looks like
being a problem.

Thanks

Neil
