Jonathan,
GadTools has nothing to do with standardization, all it does is make it
easier to build standardized looking applications since it's already done
the work of building the gadgets and menus for you.
Nowhere in the style guide does Commodore demand that you are to use
GadTools in order to acheive this, it's just mentioned as a suggestion to
take advantage of it so that you don't have to do the work yourself.
Things like CycleToMenu are hacks because they peek into data structures
that were never intended to be peeked into. If Commodore makes some
changes to GadTools in the future that breaks CycleToMenu are you going to
blame them as well?
