	Well, I assume you mean SunWindow and not SunTools.  SunTools
was written in SunWindow if I'm not mistaken.  Anyways, I've always
enjoyed working in SunWindow and I'll also disagree that it is 
"unobject oriented".  It's as close as you can get to object oriented
in C.  The interfaces are nice and clean and VERY easy to set up.  You
can get a half decent window interface created in hours.
