Toy examples are only useful if you are writing toy applications.
It is entirely possible that XView makes doing simple things simple.
So does XVT.  It's doing *hard* things that I'm interested in.  And
doing hard things means going beyond what the toolkit designers
had in mind.  I don't know for sure whether XView or Motif is
better for that kind of thing, since I haven't used both.  But I
have my suspicions :-).

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
