I think I was mostly meaning "how would McClim suit a newbie as a GUI
toolkit".  It does appear to be the most Lispy, because it has always
been designed in CL, rather than wrapping another kit.  Not being
cross platform mostly removes it from the running (at least initially)
of being part of the Lispbox + GUI combo.
The reason I am mostly interested is that I am writing a Vim like
editor in CL (it's a learning exercise), and still trying out
different frontends.

Cheers
Brad
