My .2 cents is that PerlTK is the only way I write GUIs for MS Windows, through Active State(which I will now not update if PerlTk is no longer included). I looked at the Windows Exec 1.1 documentation, and decided back then that I didn't like the style or encumberment of the programming model. I took the Xwindows (llR2) road and stayed on that side of the fence until recently with PerlTK allowing me to put GUIs on Winboxes

I guess I grew up "mashing rectangles together" in the Sony Widgets, OpenLook, early Java, HTML Forms, Frames and page layout. It is all about geometry management. If one doesn't understand these underlying fundamentals, they are limited; not by talent or knowledge, but by the limitations of some layout tool.
