Guys, guys, guys! Calm down. There are users who want to get to
something fast and don't care for spending a long time learning it. 
When I want to use a program I don't really know, I'd much rather do it
on a Mac. Then there is stuff I use often, and I want to shave as much
time off the user input overhead as possible. That's why I still use my
MS Word 5.0 for DOS loaded with macros, even though some find this
program convoluted compared to Mac. That may be, but I do everything
5 to 6 times faster. Case closed. I want both Mac (or GUI's) when
appropriate and command line style (like DOS) when appropriate.
I don't even want to see a "winnner", just like I don't want one of
my three hammers to become a winner, so that I will have to use it
for every kind of job. They're just tools, for Pete's sake, not your
lovers! Don't get so emotionally attached :)
