Arrgh, you caught me! ;) Replace cd with nano and I'll try to avoid the text editing via GUI vs text editing via CLI debate. As for symlinks, it's a fair point. But even typing the rest of that example it would be faster for me to use a GUI. I agree on that point. CLI is much better for less trivial tasks - or making a trivial task possible. On Windows renaming files is bad, ending with an (n) structure. Where I want "file_1.txt, file_2.txt I get file (1).txt, file (2).txt. Or if I save a bunch of .jpf instead of .jpg I have to use the CLI to fix the extensions because it isn't possible in Windows otherwise. But you won't convince a lot of people to use CLI if you're introducing them to pwd/ls/mv/cp instead of |'s, grep, scripting, etc.
