Hi Ralf,
I agree with you, and indeed I wrote:
"Here are 10 *more or less* valid reasons to use CLI:"
And then:
"I think that reasons 5 and 6 are the most valuable."
Actually, reason 5 reads: "Commands are more powerful",
and reason 6 reads: "You can automate commands".
Anyway, some of my co-workers have different reasons to love CLI:
reason 1 ("Keying is faster than mousing") had a lot of votes from people
using vi Editor instead of NetBeans IDE.
And I could add a reason 11: "You haven't always a Desktop Interface
available",
but we are all programmers and sysadmins, and we work a lot on remote
headless servers,
so our point of view is a bit biased ;)
Ciao,
Sergio

I disagree with the argumentation and I'm a command line user ;). I'm
simply used to it.
Representative for the reason that I disagree is this one:
"Repetitive stress injury comes from the mouse, not the keyboard."
This is bullshit, my apologize, but it is. I know how hard is it to get
a good new mouse, if a mouse dies. Some days ago I bought a mouse and
returned it. However, most people buy wireless massively built mice, if
I would use such a common mouse, I would get unbearable pain after less
then 10 minutes. The mice I used and use could/can be used painless 48
hours without a rest.
Remembering commands isn't easier than to click, the arguments are
nonsense.
The advantages of the command line is flexibility, especially for the
original Linux approach not to have all in one apps, but single apps for
individual tasks. E.g. audio session handling is much easier and more
effective when writing a shell script, instead of using session
handlers.
2 Cents,
Ralf
