because it doesn't work. you can't have more than one instance of a
given toolkit's GUI loop within the same process (even assuming they
start their own connections to the X server, which is not true for
several toolkits, which are built around the idea of a single static
connection to the X server).
hence the proposal to run the GUI as a separate process.

the current proposal allows anyone to do what they like best. they
supply a separate executable that implements the GUI for their plugin,
using any toolkit they want, and communicating with the host via OSC.
