    People insisting on using the command line for everything is like a carpenter that only buys a circular saw and refuse to buy any other saws. Like yeah, you can do almost any cut with a circular saw, and it’s not a bad place to start, but theres a reason carpenters don’t limit themselves to a single type of tool.

    You’ve just given the usual argument for learning Vim.

    Having mastered both, my lack of patience for GUI tools is just that: impatience. I can use any tool, but I reach first for the fastest.

      Ok, cool beans bro, try and write 3d modelling software with just a command line interface and you’ll quickly see how a typewriter’s format for displaying text isn’t the fastest for every programming task.
