	1 # Benefits of ViewsGtk

	2

	3 * Better code sharing. For example, don't have to duplicate tab layout or book mark bar layout code.

	4 * Tab Strip

	5 * Drawing

	6 * All the animationy bits

	7 * Subtle click selection behavior (curved corners)

	8 * Drag behavior, including dropping of files onto the URL bar

	9 * Closing behavior

	10 * Bookmarks bar

	11 * drag & drop behavior, including menus

	12 * chevron?

	13 * Easier for folks to work on both platforms without knowing much about the un derlying toolkits.

	14 * Don't have to implement ui features twice.

	17 # Benefits of Gtk

	18 * Dialogs

	19 * Native feel layout

	20 * Font size changes (e.g., changing the system font size will apply to our d ialogs)

	21 * Better RTL (e.g., http://crbug.com/2822 http://crbug.com/5729 http://crbug .com/6082 http://crbug.com/6103 http://crbug.com/6125 http://crbug.com/8686 http ://crbug.com/8649 )

	22 * Being able to obey the user's system theme

	23 * Accessibility for buttons and dialogs (but not for tabstrip and bookmarks)

	24 * A better change at good remote X performance?

	25 * We still would currently need Pango / Cairo for text layout, so it will be m ore efficient to just draw that during the Gtk pipeline instead of with Skia.

	26 * Gtk widgets will automatically "feel and behave" like Linux. The behavior o f our own Views system does not necessarily feel right on Linux.

	27 * People working on Windows features don't need to worry about breaking the Li nux build.
