As I see the situation now, in many essential areas (no MDI, no Drag&Drop interface, no normal table Ctrl, no normal easy-to-use text Ctrl,no Calendar Ctrl etc. etc.) Ultimate++ is just ultimate collection of buttons! And it is far away from other toolkits... And, if someone wants full set of features which other toolkits have, then he/she has to spend many months on DIY!
No surprise then, that Ultimate's popularity is so low...
And my last year's estimates (that Ultimate++ would catch other toolkits this summer) were too much optimistic... Two more years? Then, maybe...


Thank for enouraging words, however, you got the mission goal wrong. U++ is about makeing all things simple to implement, not about having them implemented.

Also, some of things you mention are already done and used (drag&drop, calendar Ctrl), but not perfect. We do not want to provide imperfect solutions as it involves future conversion costs (I think PixelArray->new Image alone is pretty bad and I hope that it will be last major interface upgrade).
