But there are only two drawbacks with this approach. One, it only works as a result of a customized GTP command. Sometimes I want it to display debugging information data while the GTP command is still executing (or maybe as an addition to an existing GTP command). Two, it's not interactive - it doesn't have any ability to ask simple questions, "Yes | No", etc. The first I think would be easy to add to GoGui, if it would "listen" to the stderr and given a trigger string, response type (plist, gfx, etc) and data it could display that immediately in the GUI. The second probably isn't possible since the stderr is output only and not bi-directional.
This is really one of the big reasons why some alternative to GTP should be created. We'd all like a little more flexibility. If someone came out with a non-binary bidirectional format that was a competitor to GTP, I'd support it. I'd also be willing to support slight variants to SGF that use positions such as C4 instead of wacky things that don't match the notation everyone else uses and vary depending on the board size.
