the developers to take such a program and remove the GUI is really

experience, having developed a text-only interface to ardour. the
people who have worked on and used that interface have had lots of
discussions about how to de-visualize ardour's editor, but it appears
extremely difficult, and is an independent project at least as large
and complex as ardour's GUI interface.
Thats true, but GTK 2.x has bindings for a non-GUI interface for GTK apps
(ATK), I havent tried it but I intend to implement support for JAMin. It
requires a bit more work when creating the UI, but not a huge ammount,
especially if you use things like glade.
I've no idea what the result looks like / how usable it is.
