Why do you need a GUI in the first place ?

I am asking because:

1) it is _you_ and not the GUI who is entering Octave commands;
2) it is _you_ and not the GUI who edits source files of Octave scripts;
3) it is _your_ reference of text editor that determines the text editor choice 
for the above;
4) it is the _OS_ and GUI toolkit which determines how the file manager looks 
and acts.

I.e. the screenshot I saw looks to me like simply glued together several 
windows which I have in any modern OS anyway and which I can rearrange the way 
I like.

Furthermore, I often work with _several_ source files - how does a GUI like 
that present several text files ?
