[wx-discuss] Hoyle reviews wxWidgets

[Kevin Hock]

Hi everyone,

I basically agree with Julian: demos are great, but when I was 
evaluating libraries (years ago, now), I wanted to see real 
applications. I think we should give people a choice, so that they can 
run cool demos or see real applications, depending on what the 
reader/user wants to see. We shouldn't impose evaluation criteria on 
those evaluating the library. If people want real apps, the best demo in 
the world won't be sufficient.
