I agree with most of what you said, but not this:

>UCI is a pretty sports car. Winboard is a reliable tank.

It's seems to me it is quite the opposite.
UCI is very bloated in its communication where as XBoard
only needs 4-5 characters per move.

Of course it's not really an issue unless you play directly
from the console, but then again the geek-to-normal ratio could
be quite high in the engine user/developer population :-)
