By any reasonable standard, WxWidgets is a successful GUI library.
Juce, the podcatcher, has been download more than 2.5 million times
according to its web site. Audacity is a well known CD ripper -- also
based on WxWidgets.
I agree that one should not simply be positive for the sake of
being positive -- though that does help human relations and motivation
to do good. A relentless negative message is certainly not helpful
either.
