I am a believer in the CL, but I want to point out what "faster" can mean in these GUI vs CLI debates: On one hand, GUIs are probably faster if one is discovering a command in an interactive environment, but command lines and key oriented interfaces are probably faster for pure execution once one knows what one is doing in the same interactive environment. sed, awk, xargs, friends aren't used interactively like either of the above, but are rather super powerful ingredients of non-interactive environments.
