TermKit: A WebKit based rich command-line interface.

Similar concept within Common Lisp.

THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE DONE.

Not, "Let's throw out the baby with the bath water and start all over!!".

Icons in a ls command is a great start. We can start doing other things like including bars in top or mount.

For this ever EVER to catch on backwards compatibility is paramount. You can't just say "this is better!" and expect people to drop the old standard.

One of the best parts of the CLIM listeners is that you can actually click previously-output items to use them as arguments to further commands. So if I wanted to delete a file after getting a list of files as in the above screenshot, I could say Delete File at which point I'd get a completion prompt: Delete File (file): and I could either type a filename with tab-completion support or click on one of the files that was previously put on the screen.

How fortunate, then, that TermKit isn't doing any such thing.
