That can be very powerful. Many times it's also quite intuitive. I
would prefer separate tools for most of the actions though.
I would like to have something like xsel [0], but for graphics. Then I
could copy image from web browser and use it easily in CLI.

That's also how I would see it.

This is similar to one of my ideas about such program.
I would also like to see this as a graphical shell with a graphical
terminal. If this would be reasonably fast it could be also used as a
base for suckless GUI toolkit. Of course input handling remains.
How such suckless GUI toolkit could be implemented? Maybe VFS? Maybe
for start just a X program using stdin/stdout?
