I agre with you, grass should be easier to use,
i think qgis (www.qgis.org) will help you out. It has a nice toolbar and
direct access to grass raster and vector files. You can edit these files
with qgis.
But i dont think the developers should break with the concept of seperate
programms, it is much easier to develop new modules. Also garants the
modularity of grass and the shell more power and flexibility than a
toolbar!
