It's far more than typing in a command. Typing ls, or mv, doesn't get me anywhere. I have to cd to where the files are, probably do mkdir a few times with a cd or two thrown in. I've got to come up with a sane wildcard to move a collection of files, or individually list a slew of files with no commonalities between them, type in paths to move them too, ad infinitum. Anybody who suggests that using the command line is far less work than using a GUI has never used a decent GUI-based file manager. A GUI tool is about the only way to easily move arbitrary files about. The fact that Linux has crap GUI file tools, in general, doesn't make the CLI superior in itself. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ rm -rfd /*^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Huname -ipr 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.
