About TK/GTK I agree with Xavier about TK : very stable, for very simple GUIs, it has its place in the distribution. GTK is very powerful and LablGTK makes it easy to build GUIs with GTK, even complex windows. I find LablGTK stable. And I like the themes :-) But GTK is so heavy and can sometimes be so slow ! My opinion is that lablgtk should be in the standard OCaml distribution, since it allows the use of OCaml for the development of large user-friendly applications : all information needed displayed in one place, easy selection and modification of information, information representation sticking to the end user's mental pictures, ... The lack of support for such a modern GUI would be a handicap for the use of OCaml in 'window-interactive' applications. However, I'm not claiming GTK is the best GUI of the world. I don't even know all GUIs. Anyway, another GUI will soon come to replace it, maybe with 3D-virtual-reality-glasses ... Maxence Guesdon
