CodeWorrior actually has this kind of framework in their Macintosh
environment, called "PowerPlant". As a person who used "PowerPlant" (until
few years ago) as well as MFC, I can say that MFC is more powerful but
"PowerPlant" is more friendly for beginners.
At the PalmSource, I asked the Metrowerks people about importing those
classes to the Palm environment, they told me they do not intend to do it.
Maybe a little pressure from us, the developers, will help.
