I'm more optimistic about GUIs than Adrian (who I bet is reading this email
with a GUI!), but agree that computation and presentation logic should have
sharp boundaries between them -- it makes developing both much cleaner.

Another option to consider is to what extent astropy GUIs can revolve
around javascript and the IPython notebook. Installation is much easier,
and this is the python workflow of the future. Unfortunately, matplotlib in
the notebook is still mostly non-interactive, but I have to think the MPL
people are working on this (another reason to delay interface design!)
