"I think of non-GUI programs in the same way as I do about going camping. Some people love sleeping in a tent and getting up in the night to walk in the rain to poo in a hole they’ve dug behind a tree. I spend a considerable portion of my income on a house with a heating system and three flushing toilets, so there’s no bloody way I’m going camping."
This became true over time for me. My attitude to camping has changed as I've aged. I used to enjoy roughing it but now I prefer not spending time putting my tent up when I arrive somewhere and taking it down in the morning. I used to enjoy coding with text editors and the shell but now I like the comfort of my IDE.
It's good to know how to put up a tent though, 'cause you never know where you'll end up.
