Re: .NET is a big waste of time

AWT was terrible, you probably mean SWT?
Swing is also terrible, first you need a good look & feel,
combining the new XP look+feel with JGoodies is a good way...

But with Java you can't make quickly some dialogs, with C#
and .NET you can get good looking dialogs very quickly.
Just like I could for years with Delphi.

Java has its strong points, but GUI development is not one
of them. And for Gnome and KDE we need GUI's not backend
programs.

C# is a good programming languages, it has most of the things
I liked from Delphi, and as a big improvement over C++ and C, it
has internal string class. It would be nice if Trolltech would help
and make a version where the QString class is not needed any
more for the QT/C# bindings.

But I don't see many differences between using Mono with GTK#
or QT#, and Java using SWT, for every plattform you need a
new GUI Design. Hopefully one day someone will come up with
a better solution for that...
