I would like to suggest that the existing DWT forum be renamed or replaced with a more generic GUIs forum. As far as I can tell, the DWT forum doesn't get much traffic these days and I don't believe any of the current GUI options for D are sufficiently popular to warrant their own specific forum.

While I primarily work with and have an interest in GtkD, I'm interested in posts with regards to all of the available GUI options (GtkD, DLangUI, etc) for D since I have general interest in desktop applications. I think grouping everything in one forum, similar to what is done for IDEs and Debuggers, would bring together posts and people that share a common interest.

+1. Someone once posted a thread about this some time ago. I think using "GUIs" is more useful and representative.

Indeed, now that there are few good quality gui libs, we must rename the forum to GUIs, DWT is too specific and I wonder how many people even know what DWT is.

Renaming is not an option. A new one is more simple.

Can't we add forum for GUIs?
