It's irritating at best.
If you avoid getting personal in engineering design discussions, you'll
get a lot farther with people. I've provided my opinions and plainly
labeled them as such. Since they are rationally stated and have the
merits of focus and execution behind them, I don't apologize if you find
them irritating.
I don't count myself in the uber-GUI camp. I'm interested in quickly
getting OpenGL windows and events functioning. Minh Thu and John Emhoff
actually have some code for this already. Our outlook is game oriented,
so we have a lot of agreement on what the interfaces and abstractions
should and shouldn't be. We're going to write code and not worry about
what an uber-GUI needs. Maybe we'll be one of the uber-GUI backends
someday. Or maybe doing 1 thing well, matters a great deal more than
trying to be all things to all people.
Cheers,
