I have some discussions now and then with ppl using VB. They slander Blitz(max) down for the lack of proper GUI controls/widgets. When I explain them it's relativitly easy to make your own GUI stuff (thank heavens for Eventhook), they're like "why waste your time, VB has everything you're making right now"
Is it done or not done to release tools, creative tools, whatever app, stuff with own gadgets (that prolly have their own kinda layout/style), or does it look unprofessional?
I see lotsa advantages, like way more extensive controls. Like spinners or sliders with left- and right mousebutton support, various ways to control it, various ways to modify it, way more advanced than a typical standard GUI controller. This can lead to faster operation, since you can simply do 'more' with the same thing.
But is this 'done'? Or do ppl expect VERY-WINDOWS'ISH controls only, and nothing exotic or they'll freak out?
