Has anyone out there compared XView to the AT&T OpenLook toolkit ?

I have heard that XView is not that great if you are not a SunView programmer.
On the other hand:

 - I have heard very little (read nothing) about the AT&T toolkit so I don't
   know what it is like
 - XView is probably not the only OpenLook toolkit that Sun will sell
 - The GUIDE software that will create XView code after interactive definition
   of your interface will make things easier

Does anyone have the AT&T toolkit ?  Does it match OpenLook in terms
of concepts and terminology ?  Do you know where I can get it ?
