Get rid of the new operator, though. IMO there's no excuse for a GUI framework to expose users to unmanaged resources.
Hmm, do you know of a C++ GUI framework that gets this right?
Just curious
gtkmm [1] doesn't get rid of new completely, but it does provide automatic widget management that pretty clean. I think their argument is that fully managing widgets would make the use of stack based widgets too cumbersome/impossible. I think their approach is very flexible and easy to use.
