My beef with Xwt (and pretty much every other toolkit that claims to be a cross-platform thing) is that the end-result usually looks and/or feels crappy. WxWidgets is a great example of this. It has a Gtk+ backend, but applications made with WxWidgets look like some bastard child of Windows and Gtk+ combined, rather than having the standard and consistent feel of a native Gtk+ application. This quote from the README further confirms my fears:- > This means that Xwt tends to focus on providing controls that will work > across all platforms.
