That's bull... may have been true in the Windows 95-days, but not anymore. Show me one thing that proves that a command line has more power than a GUI...
well, it is not like command line IS more powerful, but the most powerful programs are written for the commandline (you could as well write them with a gui though).

chsh negged me for the fact that i stated that,
but i never said that GUI couldn't be powerful:
the most powerful programs are written for the commandline
i think it is by choice.. if i look at myself i write programs for their functionality, not for how it looks...so the result is commandline....

Neg, indeed i also use SmartFtp cause in the case you need to copy a complete directory it is faster... what i meant was that the program itself is faster, not necessarely the usage of the program..

a textbased program runs faster then the same program with a gui no matter what, simply because building a gui takes time and more code.. there is nothing you can do about this....
