The idea that "real engineers use the CLI" is dinosaur thinking that will eventually land those with that philosophy out of a job.  Just my personal $.02 (though I'm certainly not alone in my opinion).

I wonder what those fancy GUI things are actually doing in the back-end. I'm of the opposite view... front-end shiny GUI's are the risk. I'd babysit them before I let them leave the house. For a long time. Mark.
