Yes, the DGUI (Dancing Girl User Interface) is one of my all-time favorites. We haven't invented them all yet have we?
Continuing the subtopic, the *ix command line allows me to do complex tasks by constructing complex commands on one line that route my data through many processes. I can put these complex commands into scripts. I can, in turn, put the scripts into other complex command lines. Life is beautiful!
But I mostly use the GUI
