Now you're leaving the pseudo-technical discussion and delving into politics. I would advocate EWL and Simon would advocate ETK, this is going to come down to who you ask. > The other question I have: Why does two toolkits like these co-exist? Will ETK > replace EWL?

There are mailing list archives that cover this topic thoroughly, feel free to search those if you really want to know the reasons. > Wasn't ETK made to provide an API similar to GTK's, so the porting would be > easier? And now you say, we should do Edje instead. Use what you like. If you are developing an application that a toolkit is sufficient for, then use a toolkit. If you are developing something with a highly custom interface, then use Edje. There are points in between where you can mix the two fairly easily. For example, using a toolkit to provide file chooser dialogs or standard widgets, or creating a custom theme for the toolkit to make your application look a specific way. > Btw, where can I find an Edje how-to, which describes not only the .edc files, > but the linking to the application, too? I don't know of any good sources for this atm. The Edje or EFL cookbook documents in CVS might cover this somewhat, but looking at existing apps is probably the easiest way to pick it up.
