Aaargh! xforms was fine in its time, when all UNIX interfaces were pretty ugly and a lot of us were still using B/W monitors, but that time has passed. We have Qt, GTK and XUL now, and changing from one of those to xforms is like travelling from a pretty village to an industrial estate. The only thing to be said in favour of using LyX with xforms is the feeling you get when you do the xdvi preview - that something so ugly could produce something so beautiful.On Wed, Oct 23, 2002 at 10:53:33AM -0700, Chris Carlen wrote:I just wonder if there is any known considerations going on about using Qt in Lyx.

Next release (1.3) is supposed to have an optional Qt frontend.It would be nice to have consistent user interfaces for all Linux programs.
Yes. Everybody should move to xforms.
