Perhaps you have used GNU screen. It's on my definitive list of winners.

I use it, and see it primarily, as a Perl killer. It also does for Ruby
and our infernal shell scripts.
I've never considered using Python instead of VB.
Every C++ and Java programmer that I know, who have done a moderate sized
project in Python (thus requiring learning it's strengths) states that they
hope to never go back to C++ or Java.
I cannot comment on VB programmers, since I don't speak to them ;)

Not sure if this is a troll...I've seen several of these sorts of
posts on the list. But it seems innocent enough, so I'll bite. :)
I'm not sure Delphi is really one of the big 3...surprisingly
Java and C# don't make your list.

Python is an extremely multi-purpose language that is not dependant on GUIs or
similiar riff-raff. It can be run in DOS or DOS-like systems, but that is your
choice, not python's. Python has a

A very lively feedback indeed. I appreciate most of the points discussed and
will persevere with the language until I understand the more powerful
aspects of it. Then I will try the GUIs that were mentioned.
Many thanks, Gord.
