Why dont they combine UNIX CUI with a right click GUI?

so you could theoretically right click on a filename and get a right click menu based on what is the context of the rightclick? for example when using secure shell telnet right clicking on a filename could produce an option to delete file... rename file... rather than having to use the rm command / mv command and the ability to include autocomplete of common commands, i..e, CUI mixed with basic GUI , context menus, tooltips, autocomplete, why not just mix the good points of both? CI=UI is easier on the eyes, faster to load and GUI is easier to understand or use. For example why dont they make vi editor work more like DOS EDIT with Menus (I dont mean Norton Editor NE for commands must be easily accessible via menu and shouldnt be a need to remember commands something like WordStar on Unix replacing vi ONSCREEN FORMAT MENU , PRINT CONTROL MENU etc. etc.)

Why dont they combine UNIX CUI with a right click GUI?
BECAUSE RIGHT CLICK MENUS AREN'T COOL. You don't want to be uncool do you? do you???
