Hi,
it's true. My program has a reason for having its CLI. But there are
equivalent technologies, like AppleScript on the Mac, which allows
remote-controlling any application using one common language. I think over
short or long things like this will supercede the CLI, though you still
have a text window into which you enter commands.

I think Scott also said he liked it, so I guess this is now part of the
standard :-)
