Steve,
    In order to go from the current state to some better state, it might
be helpful for you to provide a list of things that you'd like in an Ada 
GUI building tool, rather than a dismissive "They all suck compared to
Delphi and VB". That way the tool builders have something concrete to 
shoot for. 

    From my POV, Delphi and VB suck. I work in the VLSI design realm, and 
if it doesn't run on Unix it ain't worth using. Well, that's not strictly 
true (FPGAs, schematic capture tools, etc) but its true for the most part.
