What do you think about Genera (the Symbolics Lisp Machine OS)? I
think it had a very good GUI that combined CLI and GUI in a
symbiotic way.
I found some docs at Bitsavers. Genera became “Open Genera”, which was
made available on DEC Alpha machines, as just another X11 client.
That, to me, shows the benefits of modularity that X11 gave to the *nix
world. Meanwhile, Microsoft and Apple (and other proprietary vendors,
including Be and NeXT) were busy tying their GUIs inextricably into the OS
kernel, so it was not modular and replaceable.
