In the commercial world CAD programs and Final Cut Pro, with big development teams and huge budgets, have done this in their fields - for a price. Using an app for graphics almost always involves mouse/pen, keyboard, screen very closely. With audio one can completely leave this interface behind, or work text-only, in some workflows. Think the braille/CL interfaces that some on this list use, or the various midi or tactile/hardware interfaces to boxes with little or no gui that some people use. Here the modularity and flexibility of linux really stands out.
