This thread is now at 239 posts (and so I too hesitate...) The arguments for size, dependencies etc are what may be termed 'sys- ad' perspectives. The questions of 'it looks nice/ancient etc' are user issues. What about some programmer perspective? Using something like VB-in-.NET allows a programmer to put up significant uis with close to zero coding. Many programmers would look down on these as 'non-programmers' [I should know: I inhabited a university CS dept for nearly 20 years where Turing machines and lambda calculus are fashionable and getchar/ putchar programs are more hip than pleasant-looking GUIs. Many of our problems stem from the fact that this academic hubris is justified as objective] So the (to me) relevant questions relating to GUIs are for example: 1. Is glade (and others such) equal to wxpython, tkinter and other such 'backends'? 2. Can glade (or whichever is the best such tool today) compare to VB in .NET or does it look like a bad joke in comparison (I guess the current thing may not be VB but WPF but I dont want to pretend to know too much about windows) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
