Well, I *do* like BlueJ , and it's a GUI. But it's not so byzantine a GUI that people are whining that "client side Java is a pig" when they run it. Even though it's written in Java. I wouldn't stretch *every* programming task on to the Procrustean bed of the command line. Dhamsaic has demonstrated his commandline ninjahood with that little pipe in .forward that Perl would have tainted up the wazoo. ...and man, if you like command lines, you'd *love* APL.
