This is a good path to go.

I like the 3 top uses.

As for questions, maybe when I write:

ffmpeg gui

I'll get a gui menu where I can select all the options, and that will generate a textual command for me that I could use further.

The hard part of course is creating GUI's for all the console apps.

Can that be done mechanically?

There is something like Gooey [1] that you can put to your own applications. I think it is technically possible to use Gooey to wrap existing applications, but not sure about the automation.
