Some programs have optional guis that don't really do much - I'd rather see them in main. As an example, take a look at bugwatcher (my program). This is in main (debbuggtk). Although it works with gcj, it is very slow; running with j2se1.4 is far better. Do you think that this doesn't deserve to go in main? [Please *don't* CC me - I'm on this list!] -- .''`.
