Well, no, that's exagerated, isn't it?. The interactive help system is an
essential
tool, but it's not all what people would like to see in a GUI. If it were
so,
we would not be talking on this matter.

I think that the problem is that there is not a consensus among programers
on which tool is better to develop GUIs for R. If such a consensus
could be reached, then people could develop GUIs according to their needs
and feelings and it would be just a matter of let flowers flourish.
