I recently tried it for a new project. It is actually very stable and very
comfortable to work with, but the problem is, that is still missing a lot of
features that you would expect from something you want to use productively
(like message boxes, window-close event, open file dialog, password entry field)
If everybody thought like that, nobody would use any library or
framework at all.
Decent helpers usually have about 80% of what you need. That is already
a huge saving if you can use the helper instead of writing your own. You
just need to write the other 20%[1]
* As for us, we used it and had to implement couple of things which were
merged recently from our pull-requests: progress bars and status-icon
widget. So please, go ahead and implement MessageBoxes and
PasswordTextEntries.
Cheers
