He didn't mean just user interest , but completely hiding platform
dependent implementation and even interface from compiler.
Less dependencies and yes ... again less compile time.
With your approach you can hide only implementation of traits
in cpp file.
PImpl and ImplTraits approaches both have
pros and cons. Question is not "what is good for modern c++"
but which approach is better for GUI lib.
