Well, it's not exactly that I prefer using a text editor. Rather, it's a
few other things:
1) These GUI configurations are different with each distribution (at
least, I think they are), so that if there is a smaller user base
supporting each of them.
2) When something invariably goes wrong, it's necessary to find out
what's going on behind the scenes anyway during the course of debugging.
3) Scripting
4) Size. I was for a time thinking of running from a flash card, and it
wouldn't make sense to crowd the flash with GUI configuration tools.
