As I never use GUD at all, yes. None of my Emacs-using coworkers do
either, FWIW. I'd be surprised if a large proportion of typical Emacs users
(i.e. not those who frequent emacs-devel) used GUD; do you have reason
to believe that is the case?

Your premise is incorrect. I insert raw log extracts into C or Verilog mode
buffers from the system clipboard or via insert-file and perform the edits
there using rectangle commands.
