mhhhhh... I'm following bricscad development and I'd say that
the winelib version was quite a flop.... too many problems
and didn't have the expected success.
The linux native version is (imho) a courageus effort of
Bricsys team to give Linux something that was missing since
too long time :-)
Pity for the choice of wxwidgets, indeed.... it's becoming
too old style, imho, and the portability level isn't that
easy.
