FUD certainly comes into play here. Microsoft haters will utter any
excuse to downplay its GUI. Those naysayers are just as pathetic as
those who claim that a CLI is obsolete or overly burdensome.

If you want to use a GUI, then use it. If not, then use a CLI or
whatever suits your fancy.

Honestly, this whole thread has deteriorated to a group of old wash
women debating molecular science. The fact that they have not got all
their facts correct never caused them to miss a beat.
