I really think we should back away from using GUI to describe an IDE.  I think GUI, being more general, is confusing.

I kind of agree with this, but the important step is to get "it" really working well.
If that is accomplished, its name will not matter much.  My simple experiments
with it suggest that it is getting close to full functionality, without the usual
overhead in time and complexity shown by, for example, Matlab.

Even on the fastest machines around I always invoke matlab with
matlab --nodesktop.  Even then it takes much longer than Octave to come
to life.
