Nothing I am aware of. But I am not an real Galaxy user.

Note that GWL and Galaxy are not exactly in the same "problem space";
mainly because Galaxy is a monster hairy beast. ;-)
Well, it depends on which level the comparison is done. Galaxy is
based on visual "graphical programming" and IMHO that said a lot about
the "problem space".

Thank you for having looked into it.
