??? Emacs is a program; how can one be ``nice'' or ``not nice'' to a
program? Are you saying it is hard to check the value of a single
variable and invoke one of two functions depending on that? What am I
missing here?

What happens if there's no fringe? What happens in a no-window (-nw)
session? Also, what if in the future we decide that gdb-ui opens its
additional windows by default (a reasonable decision for a
GUI-oriented debugging interface)?

I didn't say I objected to invoking gdb-ui by default.

It makes difference to those who would like the old interface: they
will need to flip a single variable, and still use the same command.
