Rik's article is just one example. At work we're porting an old Motif application to Windows. One person is doing an evaluation of porting *just* the GUI using a motif-to-win32 conversion tool. He's spent two weeks on it so far, and is still not quite done. Funny thing is that I did the very same porting as an experiment two years ago using Qt Designer. It took me one day at the time.

Whatever is 'the norm' on MS-Windows will be what developers expect when they think of moving to KDE or GNOME. And, of course, KDE and GNOME have just about caught up with what the current MS-Win can do now, so they've gotta move the gaol (or should that be gaol?)
