'stringed' together my browser, mail program, download manager, and contacts manager
What you're forgetting is that these applications weren't meant to cooperate. Maybe SeaMonkey from Mozilla is what you're searching for. Apart from that, you're right: GUIs that display the corresponding commands for the command line are grand.

Is there a disadvantage
If you're launching several subprograms, each of which contribute only a small part to the whole job, you incur a certain overhead for the process creations and the IPC (communication between the programs).
A more viable alternative would be to make a clear separation between the functionality layer and the user interface. The more loosely these two are connected, the easier it becomes to exchange a GUI for a CLI.

NAME
lemon -- The Lemon Parser Generator SYNOPSIS
lemon [-bcgmqsx] input DESCRIPTION
lemon is an LALR(1) parser generator for C or C++. It does the same job as bison and yacc. But lemon is not another bison or yacc clone. It uses a different grammar syntax which is designed to reduce the number of coding errors. lemon also uses a more sophisticated parsing engine that is faster than yacc and bison and which is both reentrant and thread-safe. Furthermore, lemon implements features that can be used to eliminate resource leaks, making is suitable for use in long-running programs such as graphical user interfaces or embedded con- trollers. lemon will read the grammer from input and write out a parser for that grammar in the C language. OPTIONS
-b Print only the basis in report. -c Don't compress the action table. -g Print grammar without actions. -m Output a makeheaders compatible file. -q (Quiet) Don't print the report file. -s Print parser stats to standard output. -x Print the version number. FILES
