Ed,
 
My assessment of CW's class library would be "shallow with a germ of
greatness."  That is, architecturally it is innovative and very well conceived,
but it remains somewhat feature-poor.  I would much rather have this than the
other way around since it provides a very solid foundation on which to build.
 
An example: "buttonness", if I may coin the term, is an abstract concept
unrelated to the visualization of the "button."  As a result, the same button
class can be used for Control Manager buttons, tool palette buttons, and menu
items, each of which mixes in a different rendering class to go with the
abstract button behavior.  Throughout the architecture is similarly
well-factored.
 
Regards,
