Will he ? You probably know better than me, but I never had any problem
letting gb.gui choose for me when making a GUI project.
Also, when getting someone to discover Gambas, I always say "Just use
Graphical Application, it will automagically select the right toolkit",
and it always worked fine.

Even as a more experienced user, I see restricting my GUI app to a
specific toolkit basically useless, unless I want to use Qt-specific
components (like ext or webkit), which happens very rarely. And if I
ever want to use these, it's just so easy to click a few checkboxes
in the components dialog.

But of course, that's just my opinion. :)
