IMO this is an extremely important idea and where I think the modern GUI went off the rails. I also, think it's gotten much worse with web applications.
I agree with the Raskins' that the fundamental issue with modern HCIs are applications. A common UI context in which to run commands would be more preferable in most use cases. I'm thinking of some mashup of the normal social media timeline with Emacs M-X functionality to run commands.
