None of these advantages are mutually exclusive with GUI, it’s just that legacy infrastructure doesn’t support it well.

    @rfleury It is weird to me how there has been lots of advancement in tools that GUIs can be built on top of (Iced, EGUI, DVUI, technically Bevy_UI, Raylib even, and dear IMGUI)
