I don't think either of these is acceptable. Much of the world is
likely to still prefer TTY for remote work (and especially gnuclient
usage) for quite a while (for sure I don't want to pay the freight for
a high speed connection yet, even a local connection costs about 3 yen
per minute).
Motif is not free in a practical sense yet, since none of the free
OSes is distributing it. Nor can we be sure that it will stabilize
quickly, or get a lot of support from the community, now that a lot of
developers have a lot invested in Gtk and Qt.
