The problem being that vstgui really stinks, most windows/mac people have no
idea about how powerful a gui toolkit can be compared to the native API.
Most people here seem to be used to much more powerful libs like gtk/Qt.
Good point about Gimp though :).

Well the gimp people all use the Gimp Tool Kit ;)
Its not an insurmountable problem, becasue a generic UI library would most
likely me somewwhat like libvstgui, which defines an API that pligins use
to provide controls (in theory). There is an implemntation of libvstgui
for IRIX + X Windows, targeted against Motif. Its 'just' a case of
implemting the API in your hosts toolkit and providing that to the plugin.
