Perhaps there could be OBOS 'wrapper' APIs that allow easy porting of apps
using these toolkits, but generate BeOS GUI code? I agree consistency is
one of the most important things; in terms of usability, but also in terms
of making OBOS 'stand out' from the many *nixen... I'd like to think we have
enough of our own completely native apps, but I don't see the harm in having
native look/feel versions of popular 'other-platform' apps...
For example, IE on MacOS - its definitely IE, but it still feels like you're
using a Mac...
