I don't know if noone does, but I do think it's one of the targets we
could throw out.  I suspect it would simplify more of the code than
removign Motif, since the no-toolkit is somewhat atypical (has special
events and code for scrollbars, and treats menus differently than the
rest of the code, AFAIK).

This is in use, OTOH, typically for headless machines where you don't
want to bother installing the X11 libs, for Termux, and things like that.

There's an `emacs-nox` package in Debian for that, for example.
I don't know how its popularity compares to the `emacs-lucid` package.
