How polished and stable is > GuiKit? GUIKit is the Mathematica 5 way of doing user interfaces. Mathematica 6-7 have support for building user interfaces which are better integrated with the rest of the system. GUIKit should still work, and if it does exactly what you want go ahead and use it. You should keep in mind that Wolfram Research's development resources are likely to be focused more on the Mathematica 6 integrated user interface features than on the old GUIKit features. If you find the integrated user interface support lacks features (found in GUIKit or elsewhere) please send your feedback to Wolfram tech support. -Rob
