Laziness, of course.  I try to reinvent enough wheels in my programming,
 and I'm not ready for that one yet.  I'm just using Ruby/Tk.  

It can be hard to avoid reinvention, though.  I was almost finished
implementing a primitive sort of undo/redo functionality for text
buffers, when I noticed that Tk apparently has that built in to the text
widget.  Whoops.  Oh well, maybe I can use that little idea later.

So, yeah.  I don't feel like writing my own GUI layer, even though it
might be kinda neat.  Heck, I still need to learn how Tk works :-)
