He said specifically that GtkAda didn't work well for him on Windows.

Mine own experience has been that GtkAda programs are ugly Windows programs
(as are Java GUI ones). Of course, that's less of a problem these days when
virtually all programs have abandoned sane, clean appearing GUIs in favor of
masses of indescribable eye candy. I've pretty much given up
buying/downloading any software because the vast majority is either horrible
or ugly or slow or all three. (I write the vast majority of what I need in
Ada -- that's probably one of the signs of oncoming insanity. ;-)
