So if something really good appears suddenly they automaticaly comprers their framework in a way to show it as a better solution. That's why they talk about comments, unfair optimizations etc.. they just look for arguments whatever quality they are to prove that wxwidgets are still cool. That's my hubmle analysis Smile

Definitely - I think it's an unfortunately natural tendency in us humans; we feel a bit uncomfortable when confronted with a maybe better but different way of doing something we're already good at, and rather than consider "hey, I can do this, but it will require effort to see if it's really better or worse, and I'll be starting almost from scratch again", it's too easy to unconsciously sabotage your thinking and label it as inferior and a waste of time to save ourselves the effort.

I know I've done it many times, but it's important to be aware of it happening and to dismiss such thoughts and force yourself to be more impartial and objective. Nobody likes to stay stuck in a rut, but sometimes we drift into one without realizing and get comfortable.
Equally, we should have no shame in saying "that's done much better in VCF/wxWidgets/FOX/etc" and taking those ideas and sharing our own good ideas.
As long as we remember nothing is perfect and there's always something new to learn (and that no GUI toolkit is an "enemy" of another!), anything is possible Smile
