"The current generation of operating systems is much more powerful than they were in the days of DOS. We demand more from them now than ever before, and they've had to keep up with all of our needs and wants. As you know, an OS isn't just another standard piece of software. Instead, an operating system has to manage a complex set of system-level processes all at one time, and it's quite literally responsible for running the show. Therefore, it's easy to see why these systems take so long to develop and successfully release."

One day youll see that everyone will be happy and content with everything in the gui/os that dominates, in fact that is also the day that all os:es cost nothing, pigs fall from the sky, microsoft is a small burgerstand outside the city of Falun near the coppermine. By some strange coincident this is also the day when JLG returns to the world of computers and claim to be j(B)esus reborn.
Point beeing, you cant please all. Also CLI might be harder for people with very low internal memory in the head, since all those command will surely eat up some. But i still prefer CLI to GUI (depending on task ofcourse). I dont think i will go back to doing pixel graphics with cli though. (wich btw takes bloody ages)
