hear hear scott and well said.

Now ain't that enuf ?? i get real fed up of all this X/ Sunview/ NeWS
(and other) bashing that goes on (especially in wizards) can we put a
stop to this for a while.

just a as finale here's my twopence worth :

	nothing's perfect but most thigs are usable. if you can do your
job with the toolset you have don't complain. if you find something that
does it better then tell the world. if for your application your toolset
don't work put it down to experience and let others know that for that
sort of work xyz product/ windowing system/os might not work, you never
know if you construct your posting well you may get some positive
responses which might help you.
