There are a lot of opportunities to make money by offering such tools in the Mac arena, and porting these interfaceless tools should be pretty damn easy, so I imagine there will be such tools offered. So the question doesn't make much sense in that regard. Even when true, they don't appreciate it. That is airing dirty laundry in public, and the Mac is better with these ugly interfaces that without the Apps at all. Most will wait much further than they need to, which is the not so smart thing to do.
Lets hope there is a lot of the former, and less of the latter.
YellowBox right now has an ObjectiveC interface, and Apple is adding a Java based one. Programmers will whine about a new Syntax, because that is what they do. Do you see a pattern there. Any Syntax is a tool. If people are too stupid to stop using a hammer to drive screws, then I don't have much tolerance for them.
