I would like you to comment more on why "programming with widgets is
much more natural in C++".

I am interested in knowing what C++ does that we can not duplicate.  

I firmly believe that the right solution for doing faster GUI
applications is not coming up with yet-another-widget-model for some
arcane object oriented language, but rather to raise the programming
level.  Tcl/Tk raises the programming level;  Perl and Scheme bindings
for your favorite toolkit are going to give you more power than any
OO-widget setup.

Guess why Delphi and Visual Basic are so used in the Windows world.
