Already you have a conflict.
I don't think it's quite that simple. Just because someone "prefers to
set up [his] system the way [he] wants to" doesn't necessarily mean "[he
doesn't] want a GUI". To some of us, GUI tools are more intuitive than
the opaque, cryptic command line tools.
Now if only we had *more* GUI tools (that weren't crippled 'cos they're
for "clueless newbies(tm)") not instead of, but as well as the command
line tools (for those who prefer cryptic and opaque)... ;@)
To stop any confusion. I'm not "afraid" of the CLI. I have been using
computers for 30 years. I just *prefer* to see what I'm doing and all
the options I have without having to look up the man page (another
cryptic and opaque part of the system) every time.
The only time one *must* use the CLI is when X is down.
