Ah, but you're forgetting: he asked for a "framework" not a GUI toolkit.
 "Framework" implies all sorts of useless junk no one outside of three
"enterprise" developers is *ever* going to know about, much less use.

That GUI has to be able to make coffee and referee football matches by
the time it's done.

Plus, they haven't even gotten around to using the word "paradigm" yet;
that's at least another 15k lines of code! :P
