1 The points made about both ux- and gui- make sense. As does using
2 something like desktop- which could be confusing for mobile, wearable,
3 or other stuff with graphics. Not sure if length is of concern.
4
5 One that is in use now that has not come up is gfx. That is used now
6 for like media-gfx. Not sure if it would be confusing to have its own
7 category
8
9 gfx-libs
10 gfx-tools
11 gfx-apps
12
13 Though gfx and gui are pretty much the same. Given that there is a
14 wikipedia page for GUI. gui-* may be the most clear to all.
15 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface
16
17 Maybe just UI but that maybe to generic.
18 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_interface
19
20 The wikipedia page on UX would make it not suitable
