Old OS UIs pursued fascinating directions ours didn't keep up with, like Plan9's Acme, a 3-button-mouse-based terminal where any text in a file becomes a button and you can just type directly into toolbars, or the amazing wholesomeness of smalltalk repls. Of course, they aren't quite GUIs - but they had fascinating power.
