I would just like to point out that slide 60 is *NOT* a representative 
sample of wxPython on MacOS X.  Unless he got extremely unlucky, Bob 
went out of his way to find an example that did not look good on MacOS 
X.  It's ok to like your toolkit better than some other toolkit, but 
don't make the others appear worse than they really are.  The wxPython 
demo application isn't even on the whole a particularly good example 
(unfortunately) since a few examples are poorly coded as far as layout 
goes (I can make controls overlap with cocoa too), but if you go 
through it, you'll get a much better idea of where wx works and doesn't 
work.
