"GTK+ may be called many things. I would call it 'simple' and sometimes even 'elegant', refering to its foundation of pure, elegant C. But not everyone is compelled to use those terms, using terms like 'clumsy' and 'unwieldy' instead. Yes, there is a lot disagreement. But there's one thing almost everyone would agree to: that GTK+ isn't pretty." This is about to change.

VMS is still well used (be me for example). here is a roadmap for future OpenVMS releases to show its alive and kicking http://h71000.www7.hp.com//openvms/pdf/openvms_roadmaps.pdf
8.4 is really showing a lot of promise in testing.

One of things I like about using the same toolkit just about everywhere in my desktop is consistency -- nothing looks distractingly out of place, all the widgets are familiar and do what I intend, and this lets me focus on my work.

I don't *want* it to be easy to create custom widgets; if a widget is useful, hopefully it is included in the toolkit. Moreover, from the article I can't figure out how they intend to solve the problem: if you don't define primitives at some level, what is there to theme?
(I think I'm beginning to be a computing curmedgon -- I just want my OpenStep, and for it to run on top of VMS!
