It seems I always do web systems these days I don't need a GUI library much. But sometimes I do. Last time I used JEWL. Please guide me here. I seem to remember GtkAda as a binding to a C++ library and have way too much unecessary stuff like string functions, an interpreter, all that Tcl bagage. In the landscape I see also Glade, GWindows, Claw, Windex. The different OSes of GtkAda are just Linux and Windows right? GNAT has a lot more. Isn't there a GNAT-related GUI library? Glade? I've sensed the same sort of doubts in others people and even in other fora. Maybe we could build a feature table of GUI libraries for Ada to help people chose, if that is not too politically incorrect. I'll kick off with what I seem to know, please correct and add.
