does anyone else use linux in console only and find all cli programs because they are faster than gui programs and because you type faster than you can move a mouse?

[cariboo]

I have a Mac G3 running Debian stable with no gui. I use it for playing mp3's, mpg321, ogg123 and randomplay. The share with the music is automounted via nfs.

I use only console mode, mutt to elinks, abook, and all other possible available apps. It is great, remote, and un-crashable

I think we need and the both, and for that reason I choose linux because is the only OS that does it.

I am familiar with both and I see nothing wrong with using no X if you do what you want better without it. Personally I became familiar with some common tasks on the CLI just in case, and it has come in handy .

I just use a hybrid gnome-shell with guake, which looks and works great. : )
