But doncha know, OSX has a command-line interface called Quicksilver that's really kewl. Proof that in the future everyone will open programs by typing in archaic commands.

OSX is a unix, and the command-line interface (sic) is a unix shell. The
only quicksilver I know of on the mac is an application launcher
(graphical, not command line) that I've never seen a point to. What the hell are you talking about? *

The Quicksilver application launcher is a CLI with a GUI frontend, but about all the GUI does is give you autocomplete possibilities. It's rather limited in the arguments it accepts, but you can open a file in the program of your choice purely by typing, which meets my criteria for a command-line.
