Heh.

Heh heh heh heh heh.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahaaaa!

What's wrong with Xaw?  The List widget sucks.  The Box widget sucks.
The AsciiText widget *really* sucks.  The Form widget is decent,
until you try to resize it.  The Dialog widget sucks even worse
than the Text widget.  Other than that, it's not half bad.

But seriously, Xaw is:

and personally, I like it better than OLIT or the Motif
toolkit.  It's missing a *lot* of functionality, though.
