One started and this is how it is today. It may have had a reason in the
beginning, and now the vast majority is used to it. This doesn't mean it
makes any sense. If everything was sense driven, we (still: the

And doing GUI programming means that you can do the best you can think
of and there will always be some smart person knowing it better. Asking
5 people will give you 7.5 opinions, depending on the weather mostly I
