Following the thread a while now I would like to through in some
euro-cents of mine as well...

I really like the QGIS-GRASS-integration and in my eyes this should be
the focus of the GRASS-gui. It is _so_ easy adding new commands to the
GRASS toolbox and I really like to thank Radim for his work on this
topic!

So, please, let us focus the main work on pushing QGIS as a GRASS-UI
and not reinventing yet another GUI.

The more userinput for improving the current QGIS-GRASS-integration
the better it will become.

just my 0.02¢.
