Well... Built with widgets? :-s 

Somehow, I expected this reply. It's more of a look-n-feel thing. I 
don't mind console apps, but for some purposes, I like the "graphical" 
approach better. It's not (only) about being able to control things 
using the mouse etc.

I understand the point about Emacs being as "graphical" as anything else 
in a certain way, but I can't believe *you* don't understand what I 
meant with "graphical". :-)
