I have much love for my Mac GUI, but think this idea would still be interesting.
The major downside to this is the fact that you'd probably have to write all new applications seeing as most (all?) Mac OS applications rely on things like QuickDraw. Similar to how you can't run Windows apps in DOS.
The good news is that you'd have a super quick command line interface that is as simplistic as MS-DOS, but doesn't have the shortsighted Real Mode limitations of x86 PCs (remember kids: "640K ought to be enough for everybody.")
Oh, and then every Mac user would call you a heathen... but hey...
