GUI's do not increase real productivity. Knowlege does, GUI's 'dumb down' learning. Eliminate the GUI's -- now there's real cost savings. 1 command line commando can accomplish the work of an entire department of GUI programmers.
GUI based tools and command line tools are just tools. People can use them well or badly.
Personally I'd like to have Eclipse around to help automate some Java refactoring. I like having Interface Builder around to help build Mac OS X interfaces with. I like using GUI tools for what they're good at, and command line tools for what they're good at.
Or should I prefer ed to vi or emacs because it's less GUIish? :-)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
