So your GUI apps will have to do everything for you, cause they can't call command-line tools to do the job. You know what Un*x philosophy is about? I'll tell you: Having a lot of small, clean, flexible tools, which you can combine to get what you want, either on the command line or by a GUI using them. So what you ask for is this 1GB Mega Office app doing everything in one place. You want to reinvent W*n and its style of apps and have these on Un*x. Forget it!
