Maybe you mean you don't like to use programs that use
a GUI interface to interact with the program. I suggest,
if this is the case, that you investigate GDL, the
GNU IDL. It is free, doesn't have widgets, and runs
exclusively from the command line. You could probably
find a set of IDL 3.0 manuals around in someone's closet
and you would be set. It would be like stepping back into
the 1970s. Don't forget those bell-bottom polyester pants! :-)

Cheers,

David
