Who would want just a working GUI that can't run anything other
than its few built-in applications when you can instead have a
command line that can run everything you can run under DOS,
including Windows, which is nothing more than just a very buggy
DOS program?  Of course it would be very nice to have a good
stable and secure alternative to the Windows GUI.  Without support
for multi-tasking, I don't see any practical usefulness for a GUI.
They just look cool and the interface appears very friendly to
those who suffer from a phobia about dealing with a command line.
