- BGUI sucks completely compared to MUI. First, it's slower, and does not
- nearly have all the nice features MUI has.

- If you have a new version of cybergraphics, this should be fixed. If I
- remember correctly, BGUI needs a separately loaded BGUI library for each
- loaded application, that's not a very nice thing. Not if you're on the net
- with a bunch of net clients loaded.

-
- This is just plain silly. MUI has more features, yes, but comparing it to
- something bloated is stupid. MUI is highly optimised in both memory (check out
- the pools in 3.2) and speed. Using BGUI is just stupid.
-
- Yes, MUI is slower than standard gadtools, but then again, just simply having
- one pixel non-shaded frames for buttons is even faster, isn't it? Nice
- features have a price, and the standard gadtools gui sucks compared to what's
- on the other platforms today.
