Heavens forbid!

How is it possible to work if not from a Command-Line window?  That is, YUCK.
Seriously how can anyone get any work done at all without having a command 
prompt at which one, how to put this, types commands?

I happen to be one of those that holds Ashton-Tate's dBase II (or was it III, 
anyway, one of them) had the absolute best interface ever designed -- a 
completely blank screen with a . in the upper left corner as a prompt at which 
you entered commands.  Absolutely beautiful design with absolutely no useless 
crap to get in the way!

The first thing be consigned to the bitbucket on *ANY* Operating System worth 
using is the "Graphical User Interface".  And if you cannot get rid of it (like 
windows) its sole purpose is to open a command prompt to, you know, prompt for 
commands.

Graphical User Interfaces are mostly designed by maroons for use by other 
maroons.  There are a few (very few) things which a GUI is any good for.  
Issuing commands and software development is not one of them.  (I have never 
seen a Graphical Editor that works worth a pinch of coon-poo, and so-called 
IDE's are useless steaming turds as well, most dependent on completely unusable 
editors -- the absolute worst abomination being, of course, Visual Studio).

The fact that there's a Highway to Hell but only a Stairway to Heaven says a 
lot about anticipated traffic volume.
