Actually, I strongly disagree with the opinion that the only way to  
properly interact with TeX is via the command line.

In fact you gain a lot when trying to

Jokes apart, I think it's evident that there are two approaches to deal with a distro/application.
I'm just defending my position, without implying that the other one is inferior/negative/etc.

I just want to point out that to have a context distro wrapped into a mac app (i.e. autonomous, self-contained)
will make the life easier for many users.  (So, thanks Oliver)
This does not prevent them to have an experimental, on-the-edge version.
