No, writing code and fixing bugs is more important than sitting around and operating your computer. I can hit F7 or F5 way faster than I can type a full line of some command on the shell. I can tap tab and instantly complete typing the crap I waste time typing repeatedly (typing almost all identifiers become just 1 or 2 key strokes). I can hit ctrl-space and have the documentation for a function appear INSTANTLY much faster than I can swap out and refer to some reference manual. I can step and debug and inspect the value of variables, deep in structures containing a heap of indirection way faster than I can operate GDB. I will seriously never understand anyone who will try and honestly say typing shit on a command line, feeding commands to GDB manually, and looking up references in some external manual can possibly be faster... under ANY circumstances... ever.
