Re: Impressive!

I don't know about you, but I type _much_ faster than I can use a mouse (i.e. my laptop's touchpad). Also, many tasks are far better suited for a terminal (e.g. system administration, running Vim/Emacs, remote system administration via SSH or telnet (!), tasks involving piping output to input like grep/awk/sed/perl/find, movie encoding (!), and many others).

And as many others have already pointed out, we power users are still users, and my guess is that the majority of KDE users are power users (the newbies all seem to flock to GNOME; I blame Ubuntu ;p), so I would hope that they work on programs for us! :)

in my case; I use only linux in my home “mepis”, but in work we use manage very complex projects using planning software and stuff like dynamically linked spreadsheet to database servers, and guess what my colleagues don’t even know what is the meaning of this strange thing – console-
Ok i I don’t know what’s your definition of those users, I suppose as they don’t use console they are just newbie,

My point is stay humble, and the day when we don’t need to open all those weird programs under console just to do a rudimentary operation, then Linux will be a serious choice for desktop users.
