Rene, four years of meditations have nothing to do with "faster". It is a kind of reality which tells a lot about project management and possible consequences which one would face chosing root as a development framework. I have not left, I just grown up and busy with my own project. www.smartquant.com is booming. It uses root, qt, galib, gnu stat lib and other third party solutions. I feel happy that people using R-Quant can go for top world solutions and I do not care that I can not put my copyright on Qt lib/sources. I do not really know what is my point related to current GUI discussion but it is all just disappointing. I do not think that technical problems play the major role in root development. It is relatively easy to look around and take the best from other's experience and develop a low/high level interface for your framework in a way it allowes to use third party or custom solutions. Qt is a good example. It is actually root without cint, trees and canvas graphics but with a number of other nice classes/tools. All other system, Java-like, framework classes are there and it is _truly_ multiplatform. Making root Qt-compatible is a good exercise for making _your_ framework more flexible and, consequently, popular. But looking back I do not expect much in the future :) Regards, Anton Rene Brun wrote: > Anton, > > I thgought that you had already left.
