GUIs are great for getting responses from the computer. CLIs are great for telling the computer what to do clearly and effectively.

I want a command line that can draw the output graphically. I want a GUI that can be driven through text.

If anyone's ever used Rhino3d, it has a command line at the top of the window. That was probably the single most productivity boosting feature of the entire UI.
