Re: [Dynapi-Chat] DynAPI IDE project

Just me 2c ...

Although I'm excited about this project, I sadly cant join due too my=20
participance in too many projects already. However, I can't keep my=20
mouth shut about java. Have you ever written a GUI app in java / swing?=20
Are you using a full-featured java / swing application daily? If so,=20
consider if you're willing to have to deal with *A LOT* of slow code,=20
memory bloat, big filesize, crawling startup speed, etc etc ...=20
Personally I hate using GUI apps that are written in java and they work=20
on my nerves.

Recently I've ditched 5 months of work in java due to this. I spent more=20
time having to find hacks to make the software operate at an acceptable=20
speed and conveniance than to work on the project itself. I switched to=20
C++ using the Qt library and have never looked back since. Qt is so well=20
engineered that you have a lot of the facilities of a rich and easy to=20
use toolkit (such as java) without most of java's problems. Since a=20
non-commercial version is now also freely available for windows, one of=20
Qt's major drawbacks has at last disappeared.

Hope this help a bit,
