Then again, there are days when I'm too tired to climb mountains, and I can lean more heavily on the Mac GUI and direct manipulation. So that's why I really like OS X. It's an accomodating bridge between consumer-GUI and Unix-land. I get to choose the pace, and which tasks I want to try "over there". Nice..
Another cool thing about OS X is that the GUI and command line mix, in that most of the apps and OS are scriptable. Want to add a feature to iTunes? Just drop a script into a folder, and it automatically shows up in an iTunes menu!
With OS X you really do get the same command lines as Unix, and the best GUI as well.
