Some of the comments here come from people who seem to think that the WIMP is here to stay for ever - don't forget, this is coming from someone who played a (the?) major role in getting the WIMP metaphor widely acceptable in the first place when virtually all else was based on the CLI.
Having said that, it sounds like a cross between Vi (though more modeless - Vi Is very explicit on having modes), Oberon and the Andrew system (http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~AUIS/andrew-home.html) which wasn't publically succesful. I don't know if THE will ever take off, but it is nice to see empirical research being implemented when most people simply implement their opinions (which happens outside of OSS too).
