Every interface has its limitations. (Just think how many possibly great puzzles and stories we lost by ditching the text parser. Again, in a mainstream, as it is doing fine on the freeware scene.) That's why I think we should demand diversity (rather than claim that direct control is a step up on the evolution ladder and as such should soon replace p&c completely), even if the side effect of it will be lots of games we personally will never enjoy playing.
