Emacs has had a GUI since 1986. GTK+ is the current default GUI toolkit 
for Emacs, though it can also use others (e.g. Motif, Xaw3d, GNUstep).

No, not really. What makes you think it is?

But back to Cooledit: how do you show line numbers in Cooledit? Unlike 
Emacs, the Cooledit GUI doesn't seem to provide a way to do that.
