Heh. No, I like me a nice GUI. As a Smalltalk developer I'd better ;)  
Even though I do use the command line often. I switched from Pine when  
I switched to Mac (once it got a unix command line). Hope you're not  
too disappointed ;)

Apropos GUIs and Smalltalk and Macs - if you would like to learn a bit  
of the technology powering Etoys, there was a very nice interview  
yesterday on FLOSS Weekly:

It also touches on how Steve Jobs got the idea for the GUI from the  
Smalltalk demo at PARC, how the Apple Lisa ran Smalltalk (which  
actually became Squeak 25 years later) but would be too expensive so  
they recoded the UI in Pascal for their cheap next machine they called  
Macintosh, and the rest is history ...
