Just how many threads do we need about this? Go use GZDoom or Zandronum if you want mouselook so much.

Not gonna happen in an accurate port.
and if for whatever reason they decided to cave ,well... humanity is doomed anyway

No.
Doom levels and fights are balanced around the fact mouselook is out of the equation.
For example, the fight with the Icon of Sin at the end of Doom II is too easy with mouselook enabled.

I don't care either way as long as the port plays nice.

Not if you are playing custom wads. There are a lot of wads out there that are made with mouselook in mind. So not having mouselook as an option while offering a custom level browser is counter-intuitive. Besides, if someone wants to play the original levels with mouselook, why shouldn't they be allowed to?

The vast majority of those levels require zdoom or one of the ports based on it.

This port does not support that feature set. At all. Those wads wouldn't even load.

With mouse aiming you can fire rockets at ceilings and the floors, which is essentially cheating. You can also priorize targets at will, which is also essentially cheating.

[UNBREAKABLE]

You already have the option- it's called switching sourceports. If you're making the choice not to do that though then you are the one limiting your options.

cheating in a single player game, oh no! How tragic! It's not like DOOM never shipped with cheats before!

[Knivesron]

imagine playing a wad with ceiling and floor portals only to not be able to look at the room above room action. not to mention not being able to sheet the imps above or below cause the auto aim wasent designed with portals in mind.

Doom purists go play the dosbox version

Also voxels

Never understood the point of freelook in Doom 1 and 2. Freelook wont let you aim anywhere you want as the game still auto-aims at targets and it undermines quite a few of the secrets as they were built with the static camera in mind.

You just turn auto aim off bro... Come on. Boot up gzdoom and try it. I've been free aiming for 16 years. More options are better and hopefully this option gets implemented.
