How about ALL of the above?  Why restrict the user?  In the Mesa
Development Environment at Xerox, the best tools have all sorts
of combinations of command-line interfaces, forms fill-ins, "helper"
menus, programmatic interfaces, etc.  True, you need to start with
a few standards, since people move between workstations at times,
but the ideal environment both permits the user to specify in his
profile his preferred setup, and also leaves the option of using
other interfaces at any time.
