Wow. This is an impressive difference!

WX gives us Windows, GTK and Mac support. We also had a native Windows
UI driver and a native GTK UI driver, but it didn't seem a good idea to
maintain three different UI drivers when we only get the same supported
platforms we could get with only maintaining a single UI driver.

Rather than starting to maintain a new UI driver, I'd rather try to work
with the wx developers to improve their library and make it faster for
this operation. The long term benefit for GNUe will be higher (same set
of features with lower maintenance effort), and it will also help Free
Software as a whole: we help to make a library better, and thus we also
make all other programs better that use this library.

Thanks,
Reinhard
