I'm not a developer, but as far as I understand, frontend/backend separation
will be pushed in future LyX versions to an 'extreme' where it will be easy
to write a LyX-GUI using any toolkit you prefer.
We already have LyX/XForms and KLyX/Qt whose codebases will reunite as soon
as LyX has become toolkit-agnostic. I guess a Gnome/GTK frontend is also
likely to come. Paul Seelig even proposed a GNUstep port on the GNUstep
mailing list. And what I _really_ would _love_ to see is the ncurses
frontend that some developers announced!
In short, there's reason to start a GUI/toolkit debate here.
