Well sure, it's not like I don't use GUI applications at all. My original point, to which alex seems to have taken umbrage was simply that the CLI is like talking to a computer while a GUI is like communicating in gestures. As such a CLI, in general has much more expressive power. That is not too say that there aren't tasks for which the GUI is more suited. In fact in another thread I remember saying that picking things from lists is one of those tasks, which is precisely why I go to all the trouble of building a GUI for libprs500.
