Count me in the minority as well! Perhaps most current users have _never_ been exposed to programming with "text", and have only interacted with computers through a mouse and graphical interfaces. I believe text interaction is faster but it might be just a bias because my brain has never been "programmed" under the visual programming paradigm. On the other hand I think most (all?) programming and software development in the computer world happens in the text domain. -- Fernando _______________________________________________ Cmdist mailing list [email protected] http://ccrma-mail.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/cmdist
