The question is how would you get a (consistent) GUI without some sort of "bigger" system. Maybe a modular structure?


Consistent GUIs is the problem of enforcing guidelines, not software problem, implementation details are irrelevant.


My favorite "GUI" is just text. The shell interface is, for me, the best [1]. It's very rarely ambiguous, and it works well for many people, even people without vision.
