Come ON!
you can't be serious.

*I* even use commandline in my favourite text editor.
Yes I do use an editor that features a command line. Incredibly powerfull one. Called Vim.
Just look at the example I posted in a thread a few days ago
----------------------
You can write a command in Vim saying
"find every line NOT ending with dot, question mark, exclamation point or closing quote, optionally followed by a space character and join it with the next line"
:vglobal/[.!?"']\s*$/join
I often abbreviate the above command this way:
:v/[.!?"']\s*$/j
That is it.
----------------------

I also use commandline in AutoCAD.
I can draw much, MUCH quickly than my "Point anc click on menu and/or toolbar" coworkers. I use commands typed on a keyboard.

And do not get me started on Linux, Solaris, VMS or Unix administration.

and do not forget all those Cisco administrators
