For all intents and practical purposes, Motif is essentially legacy.

The majority of accessibility and optimisation work right now is centered around Qt and GTK+, not around Motif.

Other X toolkits, in my (biased :-) opinion, are just reinventing the
wheel (and many subtle bugs) with no real benefit to application
developers or end users.

Accessibility and modernisation integration are areas where Motif is severely lacking.

While there are accessibility solutions for Motif, they were commercial at last check, and keyboard-centric in nature.

Also consider that the last time OpenMotif was updated was in 2000. Such a stagnant project speaks volumes about its future viability.

So, respectfully, I must disagree.
