Sigh, still nobody has mentioned an exemplary GUI application. An anecdote: Some weeks back my son and I were struggling to get the right kind of graph out of Excel. After four hours of Google, Youtube, trial and error, we gave up, took out a pad of millimeter paper and some colored pencils. The whole job took my son an hour and the end result looked great. He snapped a picture and sent it to the teacher by email. A 2nd anecdote. I occasionally need to make technical presentations to an audience. Do I use PowerPoint or Impress? No, I use emacs, M-x picture-mode and raw HTML (without styles). I get to concentrate on producing effective communication, and nobody has complained about the lack of imagery or funny animation.
