Well I have always used the command line for most things
I learned to configure hp-ux systems back in the 80's when the command 
line was the only way.
I still configure my linux servers via the command line and laugh at 
anyone that wants to us a GUI.
But MT has made configuring via the GUI so easy that is hard for me to 
use the command line except when I am testing scripts.
Guess maybe I am a wimp?
