I tried WinForms 10 years ago and IMHO it could not compare in quality to VCL.

Oscar Wilde did not have the experience we have with socialism. Maybe if he lived today, he would have a different opinion.

Do you feel that there is a difference in innovation between software and other fields? The obvious next steps you are talking about are usually only obvious in hindsight.
