[Mono-list] Windows Forms...wah

[J. Perkins]

I agree as well.

I don't like how Swing apps look-and-feel differently than native
applications. Personally, I'd prefer something more like SWT. Let
me plug the wxWindows project again, they've done a great job of
developing a cross-platform GUI toolkit.
