That's like saying roads would be less crowded if we each had individual 
aircraft! We could justify anything in terms of what might happen.

Guile isn't popular, it doesn't appear that it is likely to GET any of those 
front-ends, so why should gnucash persist with it when it's "main" advantage 
is not expressed in real code?

If the point of guile is that is can use multiple front-ends but those 
front-ends don't exist, it begs the question: What is the point of Guile?
