IMHO:

1. GTK is UGLY UGLY UGLY!       BeOS is SO MUCH better.

2. The quickest way to get into RPM hell on Linux is to try to install
Gnome.   Gnome is giant mess of different ideas and libraries and
vaporware.    Just witness the argument going on due to Miguel, one
of the key founders of Gnome, going off on another "lovefest", this time
with M$ ".net" architecture.

3. QT is very clean and nice, but KDE still has problems.   OBOS
should stick to the BeOS KISS principle (esp. if we want to get it
out fo the door!)


just my $0.02.
