It seems to me that CLAW has it's strenghts and GWindows has it's own set of 
strenghts. It's hard to vote per se here as I think they both have very 
distinct set of advantage I see myself using.  I'm also thinking about konad 
and another individual that have extensions to the GWindows library.  How 
would they feel if the majority went for option 2?

To me CLAW and GWindows should both survive...for both existing users of 
both libraries and I think that newcomers, depending on how and what they 
learned and worked with might prefer GWindows or CLAW over the other because 
fo the different approaches they both have.  For example, I'm thinking 
delphi programmers would probably like GWindows (at least from what I read 
here on this newsgroup) seems that the minding behind the library was 
somewhat similar. Perhaps VB programmers or others might prefer CLAW because 
of the way it's designed.

Now since this is a vote, it's hard to choose one or the other :-).  but 
today, with how things moved on for the past 8 months or so, I'd choose CLAW 
because it's actively in the game whereas GWindows is there for downloading 
:-).  So to help the voting, I vote for 2) too.
