Anyone who says "command line is better" is an idiot, just like anyone
who says "GUI is better" is an idiot.
Some things a command line is capable of doing isn't even feasibly
possible in a GUI (and I personally do many, many such things a day, as
I'm sure many others 'round here do).
Some things that's downright painful and obtuse in a command line can be
intuitive, quick, and simple in a GUI.
Isn't this painfully obvious?
