I'm not experienced either but I think coming up with a whole new framework is a lot harder than just wrapping your already existing solution. Look at QT, yeah it sure looks good now but how many years and how many versions did it take to get there? (So is Rails, Django, etc.. These might sound newish to you but even they are at least 5 year old frameworks. Any reputable framework earned that reputation by not losing in the time test. How would Embt. compete in such a short time frame if they come up with

 a new GUI framework? Would they even risk it I am doubtful.)
