I'm a bigger fan of Autohotkey and StrokeIt, a gesture based productivity tool. With strokeit, for example, I can draw a U on the screen to undo. Of course, the problem with both CLIs and gestures are that the commands are not discoverable. Autocomplete helps in the enso case, and pie menus could help with gestures.
