It's only true if it is run with 10 times faster hardware. :-)

Java and .NET was designed to dummies, who don't like debugging code.
With other words, not for professional programmers. gEDA people are
professional programmers, and they have the time to run gdb, valgrind,
and debug their code, catch memory leaks, etc.... We (I think) don't
want to produce crap software within 10 days, without tests, etc...
It's not our way. gEDA are quality software. Not a Java game.

In the other hand there are LOT of library dependencies, which IS an
issue. I think somehow we have to concentrate on simplicity. I mean not
using 100 piece of libraries. I mean I think using wx widgets is a bad
idea too.

Just ideas...
