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.
