Comment (by timmie):

 Just adding something aside:

 Replying to [comment:36 cmbarton]:
 [...]
 >  It helps to have some predictability in where and how different
 functions are accessed by the GUI--certain classes of things of show up
 in/on the display, certain classes show up in the console, etc.

 Remember that you intend to go more mainstream:
 * develop a better GUI
 * support for Windows.

 This means that many people will get attracked to GRASS who have never
 coded / scripted / used command line before.
 The want to use GRASS for its good modules and reliability.

 I like that you are open. I see the discussion "usability vs. functional
 richness" as fruitful.

 May Martin as GUI-chief find a good way. The feature I liked to see is in.
 I am fine.
