Does the FSF encourage people to program in X Windows using Interviews, or doesn't it matter which toolkit is used? After all, aren't the other toolkits, Athena for example, free? I guess compatibility, maintainability, and a few other abilities become an issue. I don't want to learn N different widget sets and finding a bug in, or trying to upgrade a program written in one of those (N-k) other widget sets that a programmer doesn't know can be more work than is necessary. Won't more get done in the long run if everyone sticks with a standard? -Mike P.S. Is Interviews good enough to be a standard?
