Quick question for you guys. Â I recentlydecided to see if I could get away

Anyway, things are going very well. Â I learnedperl and have been using it

of the base system and Netbeanshasn't been updated in like 5 years, you

Netbeans/Java/Swing. Â What do youguys use for a simple GUI with a

 Or do you guys justnot write GUIs? :)

Not a huge fan of GUIs myself. Most of commercial software I was
involved was web based.
But, you should take a look to GTK+. There's also Qt but I think,
and I'm taking a big guess here, so please correct me, that GTK+
is less complex/harmful than Qt. So it would be closer to OpenBSD's
ideals.
