Povray is like using a GUI word processor (okay, perhaps to code HTML),
'cept you hit Render instead of Print.  At the same time, I have more fun
hand-typing the code for a 300-component blob than I do using a mouse-based
bicubic patch modeller.

To this user, command-line programs speak of  incompleteness,
user-unfriendliness,  cliqueishness, technically-over-my-head-edness, etc.
The impression is that once something has all the bugs worked out of it and
had all the features added then they ice the cake by making it GUI.

I don't mean to insult those who made that wonderful program, but you sort
of started a side discussion of why folks shy away from command-line.
