Bet you don't like VIm neither do you.
You will have to learn to operate those programs and then they are fare
more comfortable and flexible then al that GUI enabled stuff. But you
have to be willing to learn how it works instead of going:
"Need to read mail. No clicking. Don't want to read manuel. Hmm, 5
seconds past. Hmm, still no read mail. Hmm proggie no good."

PS: The current opposite of a GUI is a CLI( Command Line Interface.) not
a UI. Speech recognition could be another UI but it still isn't popular
at the moment (and never will be on an MSX) but according to StarTrek it
will become very normal in the (near) future.
