Can we end the GUI debate now, and get back to it once there is a
real effort to make a new GUI?

The important point for GUI design is the workflow. 'Skins' and other eye
candy are attractive for the first five minutes and then just get in the way
of getting work done. Cutting the code to do button clicks is tedious but
straightforward.
But designing the workflow and designing a user interfac

qt should be okay, though, I could agree to that.

Yep. And done correctly (from the beginning) it's not that hard. The
important thing is decouple to gui from the rest of the code as much
as possible. This is why I recommend QT. Allot of the gui code is
thread safe, and when it's not,

That's the issue, when it comes to the GUI, almost all of Linux is
out. I can't think of a single app I was floored by that I said "this

Can we stop that GUI funny talk?
GUIs are easy cheesy, everyone can start a dialog editor drag some
buttons to a canvas and write some code that is run when the button is
pressed. :-P
Lets talk about the serious stuff. ;-)

QT is very easy to use and powerful, but it normally wants to dictate
how the gui is coded. moc, uic, and qmake need to be the backbone of
the project. If you use these tools, building QT applications can be
easy and painless (I speak from experience), but you are forced into
their coding styles.
