Yep, I never said that an OS should be without a
command processor, just that it doesn't necessarily
NEED one.  Also, command processor and GUI are not
mutually exclusive (as you noted), it is perfectly
plausable for an OS to be totally GUI, and still
allow you to run a text command processor to do
all those handy things you can do with it.
Its likely that any OS that were to come without
a command processor would soon have one written for
it.
