Chris wrote something that boils down to (excuse my snipping):
//Why would I want use GTK instead of Motif? Why is everyone falling over

Do s/GTK/Linux/ s/Motif/Windows/ and you get:
Why would I want to use Linux instead of Windows? Why is everyone falling over
themselves to use Linux when we used to have Windows as the standard?
(Okay, that last question is perhaps wishful thinking.)
The answer, of course, is something along the lines of 'Because we think that
GTK is better than Motif.'. Some other people on the net apparently had some
opinions on Motif, too: http://ecco.bsee.swin.edu.au/unix/uh/motif.html
