Now, is it bad or good? (to not be pure OOP).
I 'd say it's good, especially for an old fashion clipper programmer 
like the OP (as he has declared himself) and like me.

In my opinion, HMG (both, official:http://www.hmgforum.com/site and 
extended: http://hmgextended.com/files/CONTRIB/hmg-1.8-81-setup.zip 
releases) is the most clipper-programmer friendly GUI and perhaps the 
most successful of all. They're in a good, I'd say mature level with 
active user bases and very helpful support by developers. The only (and 
i must admit major), drawback is that it is a windows only oriented 
solution.

A very good and clean choice is also HwGUI but unfortunately the 
development of this project seems to be stalled.

The others (VXH, Xailer, FiveWin) AFAIK are closed code commercial 
products and thus not so close to the Harbour's spirit and tradition.
But that's a matter of choice, of course.
