To be fair, the Gtk HID supports some things that
aren't supported with 
Lesstif. Like enabling/disabling nets in the netlist
window, or zooming 
in on an element pin/pad by clicking it in the netlist
window. It's 
also 
handy to have the layers and tools pallette on screen.
Of course the 
constant re-drawing of the Gtk interface is painful as
is its lack of 
configurability.
