Argh!!!

Sounds like a bad news.

* I know that Jochen have choose long time wxWindows.

* Eric, but we also want Linux.
    following your logic, we will need to have 3 TOTALLY DIFFERENT code-base
for the same application. This is not real for small team I think.

* if you say true, then why so many developers use wxWindows?
    I know its list have hundred and more letters per day.

Jochen, what you think?


May be you need ask on wxwindows list/site for success stories?
Does anybody was able create with it great, famous applications?
Does exists such list of success stories.
Actually I have ask you about this before.
It is interesting to download and check that apps.
