I've also found it to be a great way to experiment with the various widgets in the Motif toolkit. It can also serve as a platform for developing "custom" tools. For example, I've built a "menu server" on top of WINTERP which allows the user to create menu's in a "menu cache" and then pop them up when needed by calling the server with the menu's "key". This supports the creation of a collection of re-usable menus for such things as command menus in GNU emacs or menu driven shell scripts. The "menu server" currently supports interfaces from GNU Emacs and Perl (note: any menu in the server can be accessed by either interface as long as you know the menu's "key").
