It's hard to tell in email if you are joking (that's why we use smilies). If you grew up using the command line like I did the desktop is more of an annoyance. A guy once looked at my screen and said, "it doesn't look like you are using a window manager at all! Is that just bare X?" I like to right click to open up the app menu and select "terminal," but that's about it. Oh and the workspace pager obviously.
