Subject: Ruby has a Face that it wears on its feet

In my opinion, Ruby's official face should be Shoes. Shoes gives Ruby
a face by adding a simple GUI toolkit. I have been an advocate for Tk
for as long as I have been using Ruby, because of its ease at picking
up for new users. But Shoes makes Tk look like brain surgery. Shoes is
probably more like a baby face for Ruby. Better suited for small
applications that don't require an overly complex GUI. If your looking
at adding a simple face to your Ruby applications, have a look at
Shoes.
Oooh.. and Shoes allows you to build standalone executable apps too.
Have a look and let me know what you think.
