Some things a command line is capable of doing isn't even feasibly possible in a GUI (and I personally do many, many such things a day, as I'm sure many others 'round here do). Some things that's downright painful and obtuse in a command line can be intuitive, quick, and simple in a GUI. Isn't this painfully obvious? -DR-
