Emacs GUI Library

Then go ahead and build it. All I'm saying is that A) that's a fork of emacs I won't be remotely interested in and B) I highly doubt starting with emacs will be good way to achieve it (but go ahead and try by all means).

(Anything that removes terminal support from emacs will be a fork.)

Yeah, it's true. And Emacs would be a very poor substrate for this.

GNU/Emacs already has tons of features that don't work in terminal and it's not a fork. GUI has:

- better fonts and better colors

- childframe support, nice for posframes

- viewing images and pdfs

- SVG support

- icons and emojis

- etc.
