Hi Michael,
Here are some comments on your GUI proposal:
Display "commands" should be integrated into display control interface; there would be no separate d.* command modules
I don't agree with this. The GUI should remain an option, not an
obligation. So there still should be the possibility to use d.* or
equivalent commands.
The command line is not only about scripting or about automatic mapping,
but also about some people simply preferring to use it instead of a GUI.
Do we need a separate menu for help or can it go into configure or something like that?
I would plead for a seperate menu.
There should be integrated WYSIWYG printing to multiple devices from
the GUI
Although I agree that there is a demand for easier printing, I am not sure that lots of efforts should go into that issue. Nice layout and printing can be done with programs made specially for that...
For the rest, nothing much to say.
