The  default  already  is  a  usual  widgetset  (win32, gtk or carbon,
depending  on  the  underlying  OS). To use anything else, you have to
know  at  least  how  to  compile  it  which  in  turn  requires  some
understanding  of  the  LCL  - otherwise you run into some problems as
seen lately on this mailing list.

In  other words: I don't see your problem/point. NoGUI is currently an
*option* for people who know what they are doing. Everyone else has to
learn anyway.
