This is the second time I try to use Upp and try to drop other tools.

Before reading my opinion please bear in mind:

(http://www.artima.com/cppsource/cpp0x.html)
In an article of Bjarn Stroustrup I read the following sentence which I strongly believe that is absolutely correct.

In my opinion, C++ has become too "expert friendly"


IMHO the most important drawbacks are:

1) Documentation (I am trying to find where "FindFile" is documented and all filesystem related functions).

2)I am not a C++ expert and took me half an hour forum searching to understand how to trap and handle events coming from my "form".

3)Upp Looks "closed" and proprietary.

4)Controls are not very nice looking (e.g. treeview looks terrible, no gradient toolbars) Modern applications should look like this(Sample Powerbuilder application):



Hi,

the U++ widget are now very nice, especially under XP since the introduction of chamaleon technology.

Recently I've used some application designed to work with .NET platform. Wonderfull looking and amazing gradient... unfortunately it run terribly slow! Up some threshold the application become horrible despite of the gradient.

Now U++ is very fast and I would not change this aspect with heavy but fancy colored window.
