    Q. Is Archy an application or an OS?

    A. Archy doesn't quite fit into the traditional mold of either an application or an operating system. It is an application in that it runs on top of your current operating system, but it is more than that. It's also like an operating system in that it provides a framework for issuing commands.

    So, uh, you recreated Emacs?

    "Sorry, I'm an objective realist when it comes to user interfaces. One method must be better than another"

    Sorry, I am not completely up on my UI objectivism. Time to attempt to read those old Ayn Rand masterpieces "The Fountainmouse" and "Linus Shrugged".
