Normally, I would agree with you about eliminating "needless 
wrapperism". However, GUIs are one of the few areas where wrappers tend 
to have a fairly small performance impact. The reason for this is 
because the underlying native code is doing most of the heavy lifting, 
and the wrappers are only the tip of the iceberg. Typically, the wrapper 
code only gets run when the user actually does something, like click a 
mouse button; The rest of the time its all native code.
