We can do that. It would be definitely sub-optimal, because we'd essentially have a fork (two implementations of the core, at least). We would need a strictly and consensually defined protocol for core/UI communication. The contention here isn't the UI. Everyone agrees that a web UI would be nice, as would a desktop-based UI. People disagree on the implementation of the core as a GLAMP application versus a conventional daemon. But if we accept the duplicated effort, there's no reason not to have both.
