Majority.  It's not even a "real" GUI in the conventional sense in many
ways, with its lack of features expected in a GUI.  Among most of the
developers I usually associate with, fPGI is a bad joke that was a time and
money sink on the part of the vendor.  Some of the staunchest fP diehards
have given it a good figurative whack, even if only in private.

> I do not use fpGUI. Am I living in the past?

Are you living in the past because you don't use fPGI?  No.

Are you living in the past in general?  I'm not going to start that thread.
My opinions won't match 95% of those present, and I know it.  

At any rate, if you're satisfied that your current solution meets your
needs, what difference does it make whether you're living in the past,
present, or future?  Chasing fads, bells, and whistles for the sake of
keeping up with the Joneses is a waste of time and money.  "Is the job
getting done?"  -That's- the relevant question.

There is no "I" in TEAM.
This would be the primary reason I've chosen not to join one.
