For what it's worth, Xcode (the IDE on MacOS X) uses something like
one non-MI command these days ("tty"). It's true that we've done a
lot of work on the MI side of gdb, but an example of an MI-only
(well, nearly so - there's no bonus points for having 100% MI usage
so we have that one command there) exists and has been shipping for
at least a few years now. NB Xcode is gratis free, but not libre free,
i.e. not free software.
