If they're plug-replaceable, the application isn't irretrievably wedded to any specific GUI technology... > This means your program should be runnable both with and without the GUI present, and accept input from a mouse or under programmed control. Preferably that means both a shell-level interface for convenience and a C-level interface for efficiency; Perl programmers could elect either method. That way, naive users can use push-button GUIs, blind users can use Braille terminals, and sophisticated users can program solutions to intricate problems. Basically he says we need to use model-view-controller architecture to write desktop applications.
