Why make a GUI when the command line works just fine
Then again I am pretty old school when it comes to any *nix enviroment.
Old school is all well and nice. I'm a CLI person myself. (going back over 20 years)

But I'll bet you that I can start playing a video using mplayer via SiB even before you finish typing the word "mplayer".

I can play the video I want in exactly 3 taps of the touch screen. Within 6 seconds from the desktop screen.
(about 4 seconds to launch SiB then about 2 seconds to launch mplayer with the video I want.)

Very useful I'll say.
