Subject: Why Fox

Could someone explain to me why Ruby is adopting Fox as its standard GUI?

I'm not bashing Fox, this is an honest question.  Fox is not the standard
GUI of any OS.  My experience indicates that it's difficult to install
under Unix/Linux.  Because it's not based on the native GUI it always
looks out of place (IMHO) and (for the same reason) it's slow (at least in
my limited experience).

I'm sure that there is a very good reason for choosing Fox.  I just want
to know what it is.

Thanks a lot.
