Nope. Have. Not to any large degree. Simply logging
in and typing FORTRAN stuph, compiling, and waiting
for the batch to spit out my printout. Was fun :)
To read into my statement that there's no place for,
or that I particularly loathe command line stuff is
simply incorrect. But the suggestion that I should
despise guis because many identify such with M$ is
patently absurd. I'm not speaking for anyone in
particular, just that I feel oftentimes that's the
underlying sentiment. Prior to it's widespread
acceptance (Windoze), the popular expression amongst
"geeks" of that period was "I don't do windows!".
Well...they weren't doing much of anything other then
peecee stuff to realize there was more out there. And
I'm not simply talking about Macs either.
