I also prefer ‘console’ but I prefer it for heavy graphical UI applications as well as functional types of programming. I cannot stand programs the try to conform to using generic windows UI elements when it is not appropriate to the application. I design my own UI using ptcgraph in conjunction with aggpas and generate all the graphics myself… and this gives me an added bonus, I still have the console window as well, as the ptcgraph window so I can output my GUI to the ptcgraph window and generate some reports or logs and such to the console window. My point to all the being, console programs are still very valid and have their uses. I just wish there was effort was being put into further development of the text based IDE, which is what I use to compile and debug all my programs, but I use notepad++ for most of the my editing.
