I go between different J guis and platforms. I have not touched J6 for a very long time now in order to force myself to learn J7 better.
Still there are confusion possibilities going between the console/JHS/GTK in different OSs. Example: on the PC using JHS you can use some GTK but moving that script to the Android it will fail. Graphics and grids are most likely to cause confusion. I have a hard time choosing because both GTK and JHS are excelent each in their own way. I tend to use the Android more and more and there I use JHS mostly but the console a bit too.
