Re: [gentoo-user] Opinions?

[Arkady Grudzinsky]

I would compare GUI to helper wheels for bycicles.  You may need them if you can't ride, but once you know how to ride they start limiting you and getting in your way.  In my experience, time spent to learn the text interface is much better invested than time spent to learn which button to push, which box to check and where the menu item is located.  Text commands combined with the arsenal of standard UNIX tools (awk, sed, Perl, piping, regular expressions, output redirection, shell scripting, job scheduling) are way more powerful and flexible than any imaginable GUI.

Image processing tools are exceptions (to certain extent) to which portage does not belong.

Just an opinion...  (you asked for one).
