CAPI is the reason. If you want to develop a professional GUI application and you want to use Common Lisp, LW is pretty much the only option.
- _ph_ 4y agoDepends on what exactly you mean by professional. There are Gtk and Qt bindings for SBCL (haven't tried them), and I have deployed GUI applications in an professional environment based on LTk. Yes, CAPI is certainly a strong point of Lispworks and in a commercial environment, the costs are not necessarily a problem, but I was making the statement in the context of the Hobbyist versions.
