It's an ever-continuing debate: what is better, a graphical user interface, or a command-line interface? Graphical user interfaces may be easier to learn, but complicated operations may require a lot more user input than with a command line interface, which can perform several complicated operations by using a short sequence of words and characters. However, a CLI has a much steeper learning curve than a GUI. Google has always had a certain CLI-quality to it, and Stefan Grothkopp decided to take this a few steps further: say hello to Goosh.

I'm using vimperator [1] to control firefox.
Like vim itself, having a console like interface reduces the need for mouse navigation and adds complex-commands-at-a-single-phrase. (':t hello world' opens a new search tab with the phrase "hello world").
... Now I wonder if vimperator could be made to interface directly with gosh.org?
