Motif, seriously?! A crap-ass, practically committee-built framework that tried to mimic Windows UX without investing in any real UX?! With all the glory of writing hundreds of LOC to achieve small things, casting things into generic Xt pointers, debugging segfaults caused by occasional wrong structure cast etc etc.

HTML stressed rapid results and quick iteration. Surely, it bought many other idiosyncrasies to the table but proposing Motif as HTML killer... In this case we should also declare CORBA a hypothetically better alternative to SOAP and WSDL...
