Whaaw's GUI does not look great to me. It looks extremely minimalistic. If the point is only to remove a few dependencies then I'm not sure it's such a great idea.
Besides, Parole is being developed quite fast, and already has a decent set of features. There are a few things that I dislikein Parole's GUI (don't have them in mind though), but I think a discussion about these with Parole's author could get them sorted out. He is a nice developer and very attentive to comments from downstream users. 2010/1/1 J. Anthony Limon <[email protected]> > Pasi Lallinaho wrote: > > J. Anthony Limon wrote: > >> J.
