The FreeRide folks are having some rest :-)).. talking about the same 
GUI questions again and again. I should talked to my psy about that one 
day...

No seriously... I might be the one who have practiced FOX most for 
FreeRIDE and while it is a clean, easy to learn and consistent GUI 
Toolkit it is still one specific GUI toolkit. I think for now this is ok 
for FreeRIDE.

The second point is that I think at some point many people in FR-dev 
also wanted to abstract a GUI thing in FreeRIDE. We must not go to far 
in that direction because you can't chase 2 hares at the same time as we 
say in French. The level of abstraction wehave now is fine for a IDE  thing.

So this is why I am so interested in seeing a GUTOPIA thing. And if I 
had time myself I would have gone the SWT for a long time.

Cheers,
Laurent
