Why do GUI users always feel the need to brow-beat, cajole or otherwise push everyone into using the GUI? ;-) Each to his own!

Tony is just joking. I'm sure that at tea time he doesn't pull out a picture book!
and that's part of the serious point. if I know what I want, I can just say it (= type the command). even if I know the meaning of the pretty pictures, I have start the app, click around, drop down a menu, scroll here or there, blah, blah.
but yes, chacun a son gout or whatever. and sometimes the picture way is better, for instance, sorting a bunch of thumbnail files.
