And the fact that there are an infinite number of potential apps to
communicate with. MPL and ETS-based apps is great, but it would be so
much greater if IPython could be used with ANY app.

If monkey patching isn't possible, then this probably is, and there are
only a handful of GUI toolkits. If IPython were to work well with PyGTK,
PyQT, wxPython and TKinter (and maybe PyObjC), that would go a long way.
