Well, I've been using the e text editor on Windows and using wxCocoaDialog (a port of CocoaDialog) to do GUI boxes. I was thinking Shoes would be great for the spell checking bundle command I've been working on (among others). Right now I use the wxCocoaDialog HTML widget, but it's a bit of a hassle as I need to output a bunch of stuff to HTML in temp files, and then display them. Also, CocoaDialog isn't very Ruby-like; I have to to a lot of munging to get data in and out of the widgets. There are wrappers, but it's still not nice. Also, aside from the wxCocoaDialog HTML widget, CocoaDialog widgets are pretty limiting. If I could simply plug Shoes into my ruby scripts, it would be fantastico (and cross platform). I guess this is how things like QtRuby, FXRuby, or Ruby/Tk work? -Geoff
