That's not even an argument - who doesn't distribute the class with their app?


Quite a few actually. If a programmer is going to use another's library, why not just ask to distribute it with their program. It's just annoying to look at a ReadMe and see that it uses this lib by this guy, that guy, and the other guy. Yeah, the programmer include the custom libs he made, but you have to download whole pages for just one lib is annoying. It's especially frustrating when you can't find it. This is one reason I don't like MUI and don't use it unless I really have to. When I have to use MUI, because I can't find a similar program that doesn't use it, if all the libs are not there. Well, it gets deleted, didn't need to us that program that badly.
I also find that it is a resource hog. Not to mention, how many GUI toolkits do I need to have installed? My system at one point had the native OS toolkit, MUI, ClassAct, and I think another one (something I needed for some odd little program at one point). I feel we only need One GUI Toolkit.
It's not Linux with KDE, Gnome, etc., etc., etc., ...

Reaction is the offical GUI toolkit. Take it or leave it. From what I understand MUI on OS 4.0 is just there for backward compatability.

Not to mention is MUI 4.0 going to make it to Amiga OS 4.0?
