Oh dear me. Look what this has become while i've not been looking. (i'm just
going to reply to the whole thread tree here and ignore the sniping bits - hey
kids - back to your seats!).

ETK vs. EWL - it can be summed up with:

"I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend your right to say it to
the death.".

We are not going to kill one off. They are like Apple vs. Orange juice. ETK and
EWL developers were working together at one point - but basically had a core
disagreement in philosophy. They have agreed to disagree. Unlike GTK vs. Qt the
cost is much lower. They share big amounts of core via Ecore, Evas, Edje etc. I
realise that saying "this one is official" will alienate the other group. Both
groups are important to E in general. Both have made invaluable contributions
and continue to help. At some point (E18/19) I will need to use one or the
other for E itself - but do NOT take this as official endorsement - it will be
based on whichever I feel more comfortable with.

Those familiar and happy with GTK's API might prefer ETK. Others may prefer
EWL. It's a matter of choosing if you like Apple or Orange juice. Both are
juices. Both quench your thirst. Both are sweet. (And no nit picking on the
analogy. You get the idea!!!).

Which should you choose? Well - try both. Which one do you like best? No one
can make that decision for you. You either try both - or just make a leap of
faith. Both teams will promote their work - and good for them. take away with
that only what they can tell you factually about their code.

Now everyone - back to your benches and take 5. :)
