The Amiga was like that. It didn't physically have a text mode, so there was no point to TUIs. The console (a GUI app that displayed text) was primarily command based. Anything screen oriented (even the first version of Vim) was a GUI app.

I kinda wish we'd move beyond the GUI/text dichotomy. I wish we had something more like the Listener on Symbolics Lisp Machines, which could show rich text and images, forms, clickable elements etc from within a console environment.
