 Hi Hans --

I worked with command line OSes for 10+ years, I have even used typewriter to control Soviet clones of IBM 360/370.
That was funny. Magnetic tapes and drums, JCL and punchcards etc.
Then PIP (Peripheral Interchange Program) was one of my main tools to communicate with RSX11-M/PDP-11 as well as command line debugger  or magnetic tape backup program (BRV?). As RSX11-M used Radix50 to keep chars as compact as possible within two bytes' words (6 chars) all the commands and arguments were rather cryptic - that is technology were C/Unix/Linux origin from: PDP-11 (and I even used to work with PDP-8 and punch tape to load programs into PDP-8). 
I mean I'm not afraid of command line at all but only when it's really needed.

I'm rarely using command line nowadays - nevertheless I'm doing quite advanced software development.
