Sorry to do this, folks, but this steams me up!!
Personally, I don't care what I use, window or command line. I use whatever
is easier at that time. I don't really care what others believe is better,
although those people who feel that using a command line interface is
somehow morally and/or technically superior to a point-and-click interface I
call technology nazis (to coin a phrase).
What I vigorously object to is the obnoxious way that many of these TNs
express their contempt. It's incredibly bad mannered to belittle *anyone*
simply because you believe your own method/religion/eating habit/whatever to
be superior.
I don't know if Ron was referring to a Linux cammand line or not, but the
whole Linux vs Microsoft debate (of which the "window vs command line"
debate is a small part) smacks too much of this kind of stupidity. Many
members of the Linux community seem to actively participate in a
technological jihad, and with about as much logic...that is, none.
Grow up, Ron. Believe what you want to believe, but mind your manners.
