We are consistently asked to compare the use of D vs. C++ on GUI
projects, and I've gotta tell you that using D (properly, which is
why they ask experts like us) can give you a 10X performance
increase over C++ tools.  To make the connotation that you are
"shackled" to TeleUSE is just an ignorant thing to say.

Using UIL ... now that's what I call being "shackled" ...

TeleUSE is still, by far, the best Motif GUI builder on the market, IMHO...
