GNUStep is a great example: I agree with you - it was w-a-a-a-y before its time. Still, I wasn't willing to go down that path alone. I worked on XEmacs for a long time, but eventually, I gave up - it just got too hard and too lonely.
What I am saying is, I guess, it's all a personal choice.

It's not an objective matter.
I personally saw GNUStep UI to be very much appealing. But it's not widely seen the same by other people.

Not *Required*, of course.
I didn't have the opportunity to try it.

I do turn off tool/menu/scroll bars all together anyway.
I even turn off the title bar of the frame decoration.

a Wayland compositor
I installed the `emacs-wayland` as the first Emacs of my life. Since my whole setup was pure Wayland.
But I really need that daemon to stay awake all the time and do not crash when switching desktops, ttys, users and login/logouts. It and many other things appear to not work, and probably will never work, with GTK toolkit of Emacs.

That's so enlightening of you, Aaron. ;)
