The place that integrates GUI and command line operation is called
Plan 9 (by Bell Labs). It lets you use every piece of text on your
screen either as text or as a command, as you wish.  You can
write everywhere on the screen.  There is no concept of a framed
read only text functioning as a GUI button---every piece of text can be
made a button by simply clicking on it with a selectable mouse button.

The editor named "wily" has some of this integrated
into a Unix environment.  Available with Debian.

The Oberon systems used a similar approach.
