I'm glad that remote node connectivity/functionality (a distinctive LITE wallet feature) will eventually be integrated into the main GUI wallet instead of having to maintain two separate wallets on account of a single feature.
Absolutely, makes no sense to maintain two wallets. In fact, we decided to start building the entire GUI wallet from scratch. I could have kept adding features to the current one, but I would end up re-writing so much of it that it makes sense to just start over with a new solid codebase.
