I don't view it as a gap. They are clubs with different functions. More important is the gap between the 3W and the next club below it. Sure I use the 3W off the tee on some holes, but I don't worry about how that differs from my driver, only about whether it's right for that specific tee shot. I also use both of my hybrids and sometimes my 5I for tee shots. Club spacing only really matters to me when it comes to making approach shots.

In the case he referenced in his original post, it is about a gap because he is wondering on average how many yards he would lose by not having a driver in the bag. If on average that is say 25 yards but you are in the FW 80% with a 3W vs 50% with a driver you need to determine if that gap or difference is worth the dispersion when the length of the hole would call for a driver from a distance perspective.
