We're depressed.  After spending much time deciding upon a user interface
for our project and finally deciding to use X with an OPENLOOK look and feel
we find much to our chagrin that there are two implementation's of OPENLOOK
toolkits -- Sun's and AT&T's.  AT&T's is done using xt and widgets while
Sun's (I think) is set up so that the programming is similar to programming
in suntools.  (I've seen AT&T's toolkit, but not Sun's so if I'm wrong please
correct me.)  Anyway, we'd like for our product to be as portable as possible
so we'd appreciate any opinions on which toolkit to use.  We'll be developing
on Suns and 6386s.
