I learned GUI programming using win16, then win32 — this would've been during the transition to WinXP. I must have a city-wide blind spot, but every post message pump GUI framework has left me completely befuddled. One thing I never understood was how these OO frameworks helped to really solve the multithreaded UI issues. In Win32, I just threw the main renderer into a thread, then had support renderers build models "on the side", and then updated the difference. The code never really got out of hand.
