Absolutely agree. I wish there was a good platform independent GUI
toolset, and I support the goals of GtkAda in trying to fill this gap
even though I personally find it a bit limited and more difficult to use
than GWindows. But I thought we were talking here about a Windows
specific binding, and I think GWindows is the right choice for that. It
would also help promote the use of Ada on the Windows platform because
it would be familiar territory to any Windows programmers who decided to
try Ada.
