I think the problem might be that Gtk+ isn't easy to get into.  I 
started using Gtk+ 2.0 before gtk2-perl-xs existed, mostly because I 
never could get the Inline stuff working, even for the examples.  When 
the XS version came around, programming with it felt *very* 
comfortable.  I still think that the Gtk2 family of bindings are some of 
the most natural, easy-to-use modules I've ever used.  I've been known 
to use Glib for projects that really don't need it just because I think 
the Perl interface really rocks :o)

Wholeheartedly agreed :o)
