the big problem is that while doing text processing, the data 'space' and the command 'space' are similar. in terms of graphics you would constantly have to map between different representations, which is IMNSHO pretty counter-intuitive for most people on this planet (excluded visitors from planet aspie, maybe). OTOH i would deeply second the notion to make the interface a more visible *choice*, with tools which are not hardwired to internal procedures (cf. some of the earlyer works of MIT's john maeda), a carefully designed CLI, etc. still you could scare the crap out of most of my former art college coeds with something like this...<nobr> <wbr></nobr>;-)
