Drop the neXt use flag as well and the gtk2 flag as gtk+2 is EOL. Also drop the gtk use flag, and make the gtk GUI the default while still supporting aqua and motif. This only drops them from the live ebuild.

After updating to Gvim-9.0.0099 , I found that Gvim wouldn't start, saying : "E25: GUI cannot be used: Not enabled at compile time". I noticed the 'gtk+' flags had been dropped & checked the emerge log : emerge had defaulted to the Motif GUI. I then emerged with USE="-motif", when emerge used the Gtk+:3 GUI & Gvim started as usual. I'm not sure why the 'gtk+' flag has been dropped : Gtk+:3 is long-term. Perhaps it needs to be restored to the ebuild. I can provide further info if needed.

All versions in tree now lack gtk2.
