Totally agree! And I'm moving to Python for the same reasons as well. Personally, I thing all of the current GUI builders look like Windows ports (since they mostly are), and do not reflect the way a Mac user would develop anything, never mind a GUI designer. For the most part, I think it is going to take a tool which originates on the Mac to be one which actually looks and behaves like Mac users would expect.... which I suppose is what PyObjC is all about... -- Troy Rollins RPSystems, Ltd. www.rpsystems.net _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
