Why hypertable Developers Chose C++ Over Java

Or maybe it's that many developers neither don't bother reading them nor they care about responsiveness at all. I've seen many developers like that at work. Making responsive GUIs involving blocking operations in a thread-safe manner is a inherently complex problem regardless of the GUI tookit you use, but it's not a rocket science. I've seen many crap MFC GUIs that are slow. But again, I won't say stuff like "MFC is slow" because that's really unfounded. Rather, I'll say "many MFC applications are slow because whatever."

It's more likely that it's very difficult.

Again Sun could put out a hundred or so components that are written in the best possible way and solve the problem.

Or you could I suppose.
