Two: were you raised in a barn? How the hell did you get so up on 
yourself that you think this is an okay way to respond to a perfectly 
civil post? Abusing people's opinions and soldiering around demanding 
everyone justify themselves to you is a great way to get people to 
ignore whatever point you were trying to make.

>From your other posts, I gather that you have a very clear idea of what 
your ideal Python GUI framework would look like. That puts you in the 
best possible position to implement it. If you're successful, share it 
around; if it's good, it will gain traction on its own merit. You're 
not earning any traction on rhetorical grounds here.
