As the maintainer of hotspot [1], I'd be happy to discuss how we could reuse 
the prior art in providing a GUI around `perf report` and more. Considering 
that hotspot is already a pretty successfull project, I wonder why we have to 
reinvent the wheel to provide a gtk-based GUI - is it really just the 
framework choice - Qt vs. GTK? Or are there other reasons?

Generally, I would love to see a proper library provided by perf that could be 
used to do the `perf report` and/or `perf annotate` data processing.

As I said - I'm happy to discuss this topic in more detail with anyone 
interested in this topic.

Cheers
