Probably you will find me as an idiot, but I actually use the Linux
console in my professional life.
Sure, I use Internet, Mail, Office etc. using Gnome Desktop.
But for some tasks it is more convenient for me to use TUI (vi, mc, even
lynx) instead of GUI. Perhaps because I started at 1992 when good GUI
was yet not present...
Actually, I cannot forget TUI/CLI anyway. I still work sometimes by slow
phone lines (ppp), by a mobile communicator, or at the dumb terminal
connected to com port of a server. Sometimes I have a graphical monitor,
but it is too old to see good GUI on it. Etc...
Besides that, I prefer to know that anything what I do manually, I can
script in a shell. What about GUI?..
