http://www.rebol.com/docs/easy-vid.html

VID is REBOL's Visual Interface Dialect. A dialect is an extension of the REBOL language that makes it easier to express or describe information, actions, or interfaces. VID is a dialect that provides a powerful method of describing user interfaces.

Graham: How might Glass impact on Synapse ?

We might start using the Glass GUI manager ...

What would Glass allow Synapse to do that it currently doesn't have ?

How does RebGUI fit in with all this ?

Glass uses a dataflow engine which might make the GUI easier to handle ... but it's not proven yet. And it's incomplete.

Can you give a simple explanation of what problems it solves ?

A much more modern look, the ability to link fields to each other automatically, better keyboard control .. but it's a long way off yet.

I take it ... is still a ways off

Abandoned more like it.
