Why  not use a command line for all your work then? Then everything  
looks mostly the same. I wish the simpleminded idea that everything in  
a GUI must look identical would just die. Things should be designed to  
be optimal for the task at hand. You can make a keyboard exactly like  
a car steering wheel, but why would you want to? The same applies to  
software.
