(-: Unless one is manipulating graphics, the GUI is a waste of time. One must constantly search for things before work can be done. All that tree climbing is such a time consumer and so tedious. Point and click file work is particularly annoying. A properly set up TUI can run circles, HUGE circles, around any GUI file manager, and for that matter, around most computer operations. Automated scripts, macros, and keyboard shortcuts are far more powerful than doing the same operations with the desk rodent over & over, over & over, over & over. The command line is air travel compared to the motorised transportation of which you spoke. As with air travel, one goes directly to a destination as compared to driving the convoluted system of roadways to arrive much later to the same destination. Now don't get me wrong, the GUI is great for those that never learned to read and write, those with no keyboard skills, or those that love to have as much computer work as possible slogging through endless menus and pointing at little pictures. `A' is for "apple", `b' is for "boy, `c' is for "cat"...
