I was introduced to MPW when I started at Apple in 1995. I started on Quickdraw GX (if anyone remembers that).

Not specifically related to MPW, more about the times, a clean compile of the Quickdraw GX framework took something like eight hours. (Fortunately incremental builds were much quicker.) Nonetheless, it was common to kick off a clean build as you were leaving the office for the night.

Funny to think about that compiler compiling all night as I had dinner, watched a little cable TV, got some sleep....

The Mac you compiled that on likely had a 5Mhz (yes, FIVE MEGAHERTZ) SCSI bus for its disk I/O. And none of the headers had "#pragma once" . . .

Was QuickDraw GX also known as Skia, perhaps earlier in its life?

Skia was the graphics part. The printing part was “El Kabong” (Quick Draw McGraw’s alter ego.)
