It seems like the focus on GerbView's supported Gerber formats are extremely myopic towards KiCad. If the parser exists for the Gerber format, which it does, and KiCad can be a tool to view Gerbers from any other ECAD tool, it's hard for me to understand why that wouldn't be a useful feature.

For example, EAGLE import was just added. EAGLE has no built-in Gerber file extension (you can create a template and reload it on each project) so for users coming from EAGLE they may not be able to easily import Gerbers created with EAGLE. That's just one example.
