Exactly the reason I was waiting that my mentors should reply first, I
understand that FC UI is really nice but we need to think do we need
enough big developed UI ( Please don't get me wrong on this ). What I
mean is FreeCAD UI is a generic UI and do we need that or just some
that is just curated to our needs, I was even thinking how will the
development go if we adopted the UI, I mean it might not come an
overhead managing two different softwares ( UI ) as well as the
Kernel. More over we consider Viewer and the UI ( Event handling )
portion as differnet parts, so we need to check if FC fits into this
model.
I'll dig deep into this tomorrow evening. Then further I'll be on FC
IRC to discuss more about this. :)

Oh I see.
