The benefit is they make making (good) applications easier on the programmer, hence the number of applications using them. I've worked with GTK a little, and with Xt and Motif even less, and I'd have to say, having a toolkit/library that doesn't suck (and GTK more-or-less qualifies) helps a lot. Sure, you *can* write an application using just Xlib calls. You could also probably not use the C library. But why???? -- Eric E. Moore
