: It's simpler than any other X-based : API I've ever used, for example. Not to start a flame war here, but Tk is horribly convoluted compared to OI. I'm completely biased, mind you, but OI seemed much simpler and saner to me. And it did get a lot of things right (and a few wrong, alas). Tk is much easier and simpler than Xm or Xt, which probably explains its popularity. My big beef with Tk is that it has never been extremely Motif compliant (close, yes, but not compliant in a multitude of details). Tk never struck me as a good abstraction for taking things down to the character level, but maybe I'm wrong. Warner
