What I find as a pattern is that the command line is good for tinkering
at the OS level and GUI is best for applications.
There is always cross over.
As things become repetitive and/or complex it becomes convenient to shovel
them into some GUI tool to reduce mistakes. So I'm using bash for all the
command line low level OS stuff, Gambas2 to script them all up with GUI
buttons to do all the repetitive and complex commands and compiz 3D desktop
for all the applications like Open Office, GIMP, Seamonkey, QCAD, K3D etc.
