At least HTML widgets act like native widgets. There are some major 'feel'
issues with REBOL widgets. The worst is the fact that popup menus are drawn
in the view window and are not separate. I have had to increase the size of
my main window because the popup menu for my application was being cut off at
the window edge and menu items were unreachable! Another is lack of X11
clipboard support for text widgets. Usability issues, not look, is what
keeps me from using REBOL/View for anything but the most basic GUIs.
