The toolkit issue is definitely not a fun one. I think GTK+(2) is probably the
way to go for any cross platform applications. Kylix is a cool idea but
whenever I try to give it a chance I usually end up angry with it, removing it
from my system, and vowing never to bother with it again.

I used to be interested in Windows NT, but the more I see of it the more it
looks like traditional Windows with a stabler kernel. I don't find anything
technically interesting there. In my opinion MS is a lot better at making
money than it is at making good operating systems.  -- Linus Torvalds
