Indeed, imagine if every engine followed the same strategy. "Hey we support UCI and winboard, but we only run in our GUI", pretty soon, UCI becomes useless. Even if it's only the commerical/strong ones that do that, it kind of defeats the point of UCI, except for maybe plugging weaker engines for varity. Someone has to make a stand and refuse to follow the evil empire's tactics. Support UCI,WInboard etc.
