Preface
I love beautiful, honest, and well-cared GUI (Graphical User Interface). Althought, as a fan of CLI (Command Line Interface).

GUI programming has never been my hobby.

The ugly
Why I hate GUI programming? Let's take some examples to demonstrate my point shall we?

GTK+

Qt

FOX Toolkit
 * Over-complicated and ugly APIs
 * Inconsistency
 * Bad bad bad documentation, for users as well as for developers -> How documentation should be written?
