&gt; Win32 is actually not that bad<p>Having written code for Win32 for a while, I kind of have to disagree. Compared to Gtk+ (I admit, I only used it from Python&#x2F;Perl&#x2F;Ruby) or Qt, building GUIs in C&#x2F;Win32 is a huge pain.<p>I only had very brief contact with Win32&#x27;s threading API, but it looked like that was indeed more fun to use than pthreads.
