I am not nessesarily talking about Enterprise frameworks.
Ever heard about RoR, .NET, MVC, DAO, MFC ? :) All of them are relative 
small but usefull frameworks.

Beside, at least parts of Enterprise Framework patterns have found there

MinWin ? I guess you don't have to sell your products. :) Seriously, I 
need a GUI which works on db-tables, sortable/searchable table-controls 
I need grids,tree-tables,charts etc. In other words, D is not usable for 
me as production system.
