I think that it just tells us that we need to make a bit more effort than wxWindows did. In particular, the API will probably need to be revised repeatedly until it is a reasonable "fit" for several different toolkits. Ultimately, I doubt that it's feasible (or even possible) to have both 100% native look-and-feel and 100% portability without either restricting the feature set to a trivial subset of common functionality or making the API completely unwieldy. OTOH, it should be feasible to allow simple (rather than trivial) applications to have both 100% portability and 100% native look-and-feel, and to allow more complex applications to have at least one of those aspects without needless compromise on the other aspect. -- Glynn Clements <glynn.clements@virgin.net>
