[Mono-list] WinForms good design? How compares to GTK+ & Qt quality wise?

There are two cases:

	1. For *our* purposes, Gtk# is important, because we want to
	   integrate deeply with gnome and gnome-based applications
	   (ie, the "evolutionary" approach to extend software through
	   Mono).

	2. Windows.Forms is what will be used by people on Windows, and
	   we want to allow them to move to Linux.

Whether Windows.Forms is good or not is irrelevant, it has to be there
*anyways*.  And Gtk# will be used by our applications (and to implement
Windows.Form)
