No problem, I wasn’t disagreeing.
Sometimes, though, the GUI is the longer way to do something. It just is.
Look, I love the GUI, since before then it was ALL command line...
I used to have to write batch scripts in VI... When I got my first Sun Sparc 10 running X Windows I about thought I died and went to Heaven!
And both Upchuck and I talked about the good old days of SCO Unix!
Still, there’s a lot of stuff that is actually easier to do in command line and PowerShell, especially with tab completion. Nowadays I much prefer PowerShell over CL.
And... PowerShell for Unix!

In 1989 I got my first DECstation 3100 (Ultrix) and had a similar reaction! I never warmed to the Suns quite as much back then, but did like the Sparcstations of the later 90’s.
I admit, I still prefer the sharp cornered rectilinear windows of the older systems. Old style Gnome, Win2000, those are my comfort zones. These newfangled rounded themes with drop shadows drive me crazy.
