Comment(by garu):

 Michael, i just began to scratch the Grass surface and for sure i've not
 explored yet all the option and subtleties that the wxGUI interface
 offers, so my opinion could be of scarce value, but afaik i've seen at
 least two reasons to maintain the command layer:

 1) it looks that Grass commands counts in the order of hundreds, do really
 all of them have their graphical layer correspondence? I doubt, so i think
 the command layer is the only option if a user wants to introduce in the
 map stack some "esoteric" command.

 2) in OS env, like Windoz, where shell programming is a real pain, command
 layers can be a real help for rapid prototyping while still being able to
 avail of the many facilities of the graphical interface.

 I really hope you will reconsider your position, imo throwing away command
 layer would be a real loss.
