I sincerely doubt that it'll replace the WinBoard GUI (the protocol will
continue to exist) completely. The advantages are easy engine installation; a
more informative analysis window; UCI protocol support; the movelist and maybe a
few other items. I still prefer Winboard for eng-eng matches and probably for
ICS access as well. Then there are the various tournament tools, which are
dependant on WinBoard (WBTM and GalisWBTM). So I don't believe in transformation
or succession, but rather as a supplement. Especially for the technically inept
:-).
