GUI strategy?

Walter "blessed" DWT (I believe it was) and... it promptly died.

Granted, we've got Tioport making excellent progress now, but I don't
think Walter wants to bless any particular library that he himself isn't
responsible for.

As for getting the community to agree on one, good luck on that.  I
remember lots of threads about designing a community-standard, and no
one could agree on something as basic as: should it owner-draw or use
native widgets.  Both sides have very good, solid arguments for them.
And people in general have a habit of (sometimes violently) backing
their very good, solidly justified team. :)

My position is: we're not going to get a "standard" GUI library for D
unless someone comes up with some brilliant new design that can't be
done in C or C++ that really sets is apart for D.  Something to blow the
socks off all those cocky Java programmers.  Until that happens, I don't
really see much point.
