There are alternatives for Ruby GUI apps, but I cannot vouch for their aesthetics. Swing apps can be skinned. There is much choice. The NetBeans built-in GUI editor is quite slick. You're going to have to decide what trade-offs to make; ease of development (Monkeybars wins) ease of maintenance (Monkeybars wins), solid cross-platform support (JRuby (AKA Java) + Swing wins), specific look-and-feel ... well, that's more a matter of taste. -- James Britt "I can see them saying something like 'OMG Three Wizards Awesome'" - billinboston, on reddit.com
