I have been looking for a more friendly user interface for GRASS.
I personally like the command line, but I want to get a number
of people to try GRASS who do not like a command line interface.
In my search I ran into something called Grass-XMI (See
http://www.gpz.com). It looks pretty good, but I haven't tryed it.
Does anyone use it? If so, would you recommend it?

I have been beta testing the linux version of GRASS-XMI for a
month or two and am quite pleased with how it is working out. It really
makes some of the tedious command line operations (such as zooming in and
out) much, much easier. Also, they have created a very nice interface to
r.mapcalc (Map Calculator in GRASS-XMI) that makes map algebra a much more
pleasant task. I would recommend it.
I'm not familiar with any other GRASS GUI's (other than perhaps GRASSLAND
or Blackland GRASS for Win95)
If you are using GRASS on Linux, it might be worth mentioning that the
grass-xmi developers are likely to distribute GRASS-XMI as either static
binaries or shared binaries with libraries included (or both) so that you
do not have to have Motif.
