So using the same toolkit for everything graphics, instead of implementing features for windows, linux, etc. separately? Emacs currentl;y supports building with GTK only on GNU and Unix systems. > Is there something which native UI code does in emacs UI which GTK could not support? GTK has many problems, so I very much hope the future of Emacs is not with GTK, but with some better toolkit.
