I think that Gregorio would be far more complete and user-friendly if
there was a gui. Although everyone, and I do mean everyone on the list
has been exceptionally helpful with any question I have had regarding
installation and usage but I think that if a person didn't have to
explicitly install TeXlive(MikTeX, MacTeX) and then TeXworks or
whatever. I think the learning curve could be shaved down quite a bit.
I know of the very good online versions, I have used them on numerous
occasions and they have done what they were supposed to do but I think
Gregorio should have its own with LaTeX(or LuaTeX) built in and mostly
transparent so that a person can just concentrate on the gabc and not
have to worry about downloading, installing, and learning LaTeX, or
fussing with things in a main .tex file.
Off the top of my head, something like Frescobaldi which is an awesome
gui for Lilypond. You still have to learn a bit to be able to make a
good score but at least you don't have to work with two documents at the
same time as you do in Gregorio (the .gabc file and the main .tex file).
and there are many template and export options (pdf, svg, png).
I apologize for being ambiguous.
