True. And on day, it will be the past.

Emacs is for the long run.  During its lifetime, the dominating
toolkits have been at least termcap, curses, terminfo, SunView, raw
X10, raw X11, XView, Motif, Qt, GTK 1 and GTK2; and in some circles
w16, PM, w32, MFC, NeXTStep and Cocoa.

Emacs need to be able to adopt to an ever changing environment.  GUI
fashion come and go, only Emacs is for ever.
