The text and GUI integration describes exactly why I fell in love with Linux. There is a GUI, but I will be damned if there are things (save some terrible GNOME cruft from personal experience) that cannot be facilitated the terminal commands and scripting. Around the same time in college as I discovered Linux and began really exploring, I started a sysadmin gig at school maintaining Winboxen, and the inability to script a lot of core stuff (this was before Powershell, but my opinion is little has changed beyond "this is the crap Microsoft thinks you should automate") is incredibly frustrating and what drove me to admire the utilitarian approach of Linux and other UNIX environments so so much. That is why Linux, *BSD, and even in a small way OS X make me really happy.
Oberon seems to harmonize both. That is very cool, and definitely would be an OS of choice for me.
Apple was one of the my first computers; I am familiar with the OS 1 - 9 line. That being said I was a child and I am not too familiar after all these years if they were like it.
When dealing with a current Mac, people look at me weird as I spend my time in only two apps: Console.app and Terminal.app. And people wonder why I bitch how Apple bastardized Unix (and to the fanbois: I know it is just as much BSD's fault, get off my lawn).

You would love Mac OS 1 - 9, Acorn RISC OS, Amiga OS, Atari ST GEM. :)
