Well, I'm going to disagree. If I understand the reason correctly,
the application is impossible to get to because it offers nothing but
a GUI, and frankly, if you don't want a GUI what are you doing on
OSX? Use Darwin or Linux. Sure, severe, but I appreciate the barrier
that Little Snitch provides and I'd like to make sure it stays intact
and not be weakened because of a GUI vs. CLI philosophical battle.
Peace all!

You're really rude !
I work in Unix computers. I love Apple products. I used to have a PC and
run Linux on it. but even with Linux, a PC is a PC. When G5 and OsX came
out, I reached to it, as it was the best of both worlds : a great GUI, a
lot of pro apps (Adobe...) and... a Unix core.
I won't go back to linux because of a firewall problem. That is, you do
have CLI + GUI on ipTables, which is the Linux built-in firewall.
Having a CLI will not change life for people who don't use it (and maybe
never heard of a shell/terminal). It will not make things harder for
you. It will not compromise anything if it's well integrated and it will
not make the application bigger. I'm really supprised of your post. How
could you be against a feature that will not change your life and may
help others ?
Sometimes you can't have a remote desktop, and you're really happy to be
able to work within a shell. If you prefer to have on osX nothing more
than windows can offer you, it's your choice. As osX have powerfull CLI
capabilities, i'm just asking to have software use it.
The conclusion may be : I'll try to find a way to STOP LS from the CLI.
That way, i'll compromise my computer instead of "compromising" people
who don't use the CLI.
Sorry for the forthcoming SPAM and spyware attacks... :)
Finaly, I'll just give an example of CLI/GUI integration that works :
Temperature Monitor
It's a small app that drow graphs of CPU heat. Thay add a command line
tool to gather data... and beeing able to graph it on your own (with
Cacti RRD tool for me). So I can have the Temp of my computer wherever i
want on my admin web site...
If you don't know it you'll never know there is a CLI. But if you need
it, it's here... it's just that simple.
