IMHO, you see this in reverse. the 'gui' useflag would be useful for
users who don't want to care about X/wayland/mir and do not want to care
about gtk/qt, they just want windows to be drawn for the applications
they install -- without, if possible, pulling useless dependencies.
How, exactly, will the app draw windows without linking against one of
X/wayland/mir/qt4/qt5/gtk2/gtk3/fltk or whatever else comes down the
pike?
The "useless dependencies" is the result of one or more of these
random flags being enabled globally when an end-user just wants to
make sure they get the GUI built for their apps.
The original discussion was about global defaults. If you want
per-app settings, package.use is your friend.
I'm going to keep this short: please try to understand that not
everyone can spend hours of time adjusting every single package
in Gentoo so that it may finally start working as expected.
We understand that some people have goals like 'I want Qt everywhere,
I hate GTK+ so much I'd rather not be able to do anything than have
GTK+ on my system'. We respect them. But we're no longer going to
optimize Gentoo for those people.
Ok if i want just disable gtk i use USE="-gtk -gtk2 -gtk3".
