The two are current codeshare partners already. Many possibilities. It is certainly going to be an interesting next few years.
In my opinion, the only reason a rational person would subject themselves to LHR is because they have connections to make.
If the origin/destination is UK then LGW does everything LHR does. There is a fast(ish) train to central London, rental cars and a bus station with lots of busses to a lot of places. The LGW "experience" is less awful than that at LHR.
