I agree!

FWIW, in Debian we offer both versions of Emacs 22 (X and GTK) and
out of 616 users, 373 have the GTK version installed, vs. 258 for
the vanilla X version[1][2].  And this despite the fact that the
default version is the X version: the GTK build must be requested
explicitly.

(I know that all statistics are useless, etc, etc.)
