Subject: Is UCI a politically viable alternative to Winboard?

From all that I've read about UCI, it seems to have several technical advantages
over Winboard. But, as we all know, the best product doesn't always succeed.

There will only be large support among chess engine programmers if there is a
high quality free GUI available. (If UCI interpreatation remains proprietary to
Chessbase it will kill the protocol before it even takes off). Is there a
comparable freeware equivalent of the Winboard program (WinUCI)? If not, are
there any plans to create one?
