Ruby is incredibly adaptable to a multitude of environments, operating systems and GUI toolkits. It can become cumbersome to procrastinators like me who tend to be in search for the one true way to fit it all. Note that I call it unified ruby GUI vs standard ruby GUI, because I don’t think that a true standard toolkit would make the world happy. My humble expectations are:
- can be installed as gem and uses gem
- supports*: windows, mac os x, gnome, kde, web-interface
- *using the preferred toolkit** of that platform
- **no other dependencies should be added
- simple things should be simple
- complicated things should be possible
