It's much easier to implement. Carmenta Engine provides several different, ready-to-use, MapControl classes for different languages and different GUI frameworks.

The MapControl classes provide sophisticated scheduling mechanisms, the applications usually don't have to worry about how often to update the map. Even with multiple controls in the same application, the scheduling will make sure all controls get updated when needed, and still leave enough time on the GUI thread to handle user input. See Efficient Integration of Map Controls in GUI Applications for more details.

MapControls provide a standard way to handle user input, like mouse, keyboard and touch events. Various tools, like the built-in StandardTool or custom tools implementing the ITool interface, let the user interact with the map, regardless of which MapControl class is used.
