yeah, I work on commandline based compilers and code analysis tools and I'm very happy doing it! apart from the work itself being interesting, I find it really nice to just have to care about stdin, stdout, and filesystem access. I enjoy working on desktop gui apps too, but at least to my mind IPC and networking add a layer of unpleasantly error-prone concerns to deal with, and web apps dial that up to eleven.
