For GUI work, I'll probably continue to work with GtkAda. But having
said that, if I wanted a Windows only product (or a native-feel one)
in Ada, I would definitely choose GWindows for ease-of-use, and its
ability to use COM/Active-X objects with GNATCOM. I haven't tried the
database aware widget support, but that is another factor that is
important to me. Just my $0.02.
