I have unfortunately involved in flamewar-age :-), complaining about the limited development tools that the U**X community appears to be happy with. Lets face it, the current development tool suite is GREAT for os code and text utilities, but we need better tools to develop fancy GUI applications for the windows-ites :-). I would applaud the development of FREE (I mean really FREE) tools for efficient GUI program development. It would be important that the code generated by such tools be non-(re)distribution encumbered!!! I would be so happy if my OS/KERNEL work would be enhanced by better and more applications develoment tools... I would even perhaps be enticed to write application code (watch out!!!) John
