Well, some consider rewriting code to be a sin, but since you bring it 
up, my fantasy movie would star Mozilla as the GC GUI (cross-platform), 
backed by C/C++ XPCOM components for functionality.  Mozilla Application 
GUIs are built with JavaScript, CSS and XUL (an XML language), languages 
that are familiar to lots.

But that would be a sin.
