My impression: very-very-very Schemish. Neat and lean but powerful
enough. Personally, I hate to have dozens of classes with hundreds of
methods, _especially_ in Scheme. So bb (and Chicken) became my choice
for some GUI app.
The only major issue is the lack of Tree control (IMHO one can use
Tree from FLU. It seems I will try to implement this someday).
The minor issue is about FLTK - it uses ownerdrawn controls, losing
native look-n-feel.

I think that this is adequate. SRFI-17 + bb is an extra pain on
Windows: chicken-setup doesn't work and MSVC6 seems to have
optimization bug, so srfi-17 should be compiled without optimization.
