But you are complaining about the general state of affairs; not
anything ruby specific. As my posts demonstrated (I think) the ruby
toolkit bindings are on par with the state of the art; whether that
state is sufficient is another story. (And regarding Vista, that's
kind of a low-blow, as less than half of the XP apps even work
natively in Vista64, if at all). In any case, one is not without
recourse when it comes to x-platform GUI options in ruby. At least,
ruby is not behind any other language (including C) in this area,
because that's simply the state of the toolkits themselves. Toolkits
aren't Hellen Keller, and Ruby isn't the Miracle Worker. You can only
do so much with what you're given. ;)
