or am I missing something here?

I don't think it'd be a good thing if somebody implemented, say, a
bounce diagram tap for {GUI toolkit X} and somebody else would have to
completely rewrite it for {GUI toolkit Y}; perhaps competition between
two bounce diagram taps would be good, but that's possible even if we
base Wireshark only on one toolkit.

We have two UIs, one of which is a GUI and one of which is a command-
line UI. TShark isn't a GUI app, and isn't supposed to be. It reads
the capture file only once; if we get to the point where we can read
capture files from pipes, that could be a useful capability.
