On the other hand, it's incredibly easy to whip together a GUI in Tk
for simple applications.  Yes, Tk gets painful as applications grow,
but I'd hate to abandon such a simple, well-known toolkit for a
complicated, hard-to-learn but powerful native look-and-feel one.  You
don't /always/ care about strict native LAF.

Or to restate: I'd hate to have to make that choice.  If we can't
satisfy both requirements (mandatory-native-LAF and rapid prototyping
friendliness), we may need to continue to support multiple toolkits.
