I just had a job interview, and was surprised by some of the perceptions a

Has anyone else run into this? similar weird perceptions?
With GUI tools, a lot of people fall into 3 groups:
1. Needs GUI, can't add a user without it.
2. Uses GUI, goes into command line if needed.
3. Uses the same commands that have worked for the last 40 years.

That seems accurate. I'd group myself into category 2 for daily usage, but the concept of requiring GUI tools to administer a server seems odd to me, and the insinuation that being an Ubuntu user makes a person more likely to fall into that category irked me a bit. maybe my troll detection is just miscalibrated.
