Kent has been saying that for years :-) It's not true, however, that gui programs *could* be "so simple". This is the plain, sad truth. There is a huge amount going on behind the scenes that Leo mostly makes invisible. There is *no way*, imo, to drastically simply Leo's event handlers, for instance. In short, simple installation is essential, but making installations simple will *not* be simple!
