I am a software developer and I would not develop code without an IDE. The
point is that behind all that text you type there is a more abstract
concept of your thoughts. If a GUI can replicate you thoughts well it is a
lot faster than the "text only" approach. To stay with your example, a good
gui would allow to right click on a graph that opens up a context menu in
which you can change the color. This is much faster than searching for the
color definition, changing the color to blue, run the script again, seeing
that it's not that blue that you had in mind, changing it again and so on.
It all sounds like you wouldn't need it until you grasp the idea. So don't
be so pessimistic, we know what we're doing.
