Well, about the time that "digitalmars.D.dwt" newsgroup was founded ?
Something about DM putting all the wood behind one arrow, or something.

But neither tk nor wx are really candidates for a GUI written *in* D,
they are more about libraries that are usable *from* D. A difference.

Both DWT and FLTK were actual ports, rather than just simple wrappers.
And I think both of them ran into the "missing system headers" issue ?

i.e. in order to use the system headers, you need to convert these over
to D first (as D import modules), before you can actually use them...
