The CLI is my $HOME, the place where I feel most comfortable. Yes, I despise bash syntax and if it's used for actual production code (with #LOC>10³) - like we do. The pipes, grep, awk - it's usually a breeze.
BUT yesterday my illusion of the superiority of my CLI just got shattered badly: There was some zip with a core file I wanted to investigate, but gunzip and zcat just were unable to decompress it, while with a simple double click I could open the freaking folder.
