Because I got bored trying to convince Brad to rewrite the DL, and now I want to pick on you ;-) Seriously, one consideration is the reduction of dependencies (C/glib vs. C++/STL) and the sharing of libraries. And I guess that since you need to make many changes anyway, now might be the best time for a switch. But, it's your baby. I promise you, I won't pressure you anymore........today ;-) Cheers.
