Oh boy, I definitely know Oberon.
Here is my detailed explaination.
You write the REPL like code you feel like on a pane, you can the use the sigils that map if the command (loaded dynamically as instances from Oberon commands in modules), refers to existing text, selected wigdet on another pane, or requests user for additional infortmation, mouse select the command and execute it.

Ok. I feel like I already explained why TextFrames is (a) not a REPL, and (b) absolutely worse than what you can do in a terminal.

I don't know man. I don't know anyone who doesn't use UNIX every day, and I don't know anyone who uses Oberon every day. I am telling you in a way why I don't think that's an accident, and we can talk about that aspect if you want, but I think the cobol forms on a 3270 are a way more interesting version of terminals than what UNIX does with them, and programming/scripting the terminal is really the thing I think that makes them better than any other human-computer-interface.
To people stuck in UNIX mindset, maybe.
