Can anybody from Cadence say something if they are reworking the ADE

There is some stuff going on in this area. Can't say more in an open forum.
Andrew,
I am investing some time into creating a utility with SKILL which use
some GUI components in IC5.1. I am a bit concerned that this effort may
be wasted if the GUI is changed in the future. Could you comment on the
probablity that existing SKILL calls will stay close to what they are
today, or will I have to totally rewrite any SKILL code incorporating
GUI items.

Whilst the underlying widgets are moving to Qt (from Motif) the hi.* layer
remains compatible - this is necessary so that all the Cadence and customer code
using hi functions does not have to be rewritten.
So you should be OK...
Note, you can always try ICOA5251 (which is released) which uses Qt already
to see what I mean. Also you can use this to check how ready you are to move to
OA 2.2.
Regards,
Andrew.
