Just a quick remark on this:
Although i think i get your point, and agree to it to a large degree, 
there is one thing that might not part of what you call gui features, 
but still is vital to achieve them: A healthy design. :-)
I think both things are linked together. Actualy this was the main 
reason for me to start working with that parameter metaphor. All i 
basicaly wanted was some additional gui features, so to say. But in 
order to get them i had to change parts of ams architecture. (There were 
different goals, too, but having those custom consoles was one of the 
most important)
I have traced back the beginning of the whole AMS Next Generation(tm) 
proposal, to that simple point. What followed was mostly straight 
forward generalization, in the fashion of "Ok, but now that we changed 
that here, why not go a step further and..."

I believe it all boils down to making a modular synth modular, in more 
than one dimension, so to say.
