Surely "any GUI is better than none at all, and GTK is overwhelmingly the right

I rarely-if-ever use gvim, but why would we stop users from doing it based on
such bogus 'arguments'?
Well, it appears my understanding of the competitive landscape was woefully
incomplete, or out of date. Perhaps "Linux has separate executables" is
still a bogus argument here. Regardless of whether we provide a GUI in the
same executable, as a separate executable, or not at all, there's a
straightforward path towards obviously better solutions, so I think it
mostly ends up being a call based on expectations, and the resources
available to do the work.

The "depends on GUI libraries even when used in non-GUI mode" is a
compelling argument. I wasn't aware it was architected so poorly in that
regard until I read ahead.
Two copies is repulsive but easy.
