Cool.  I'd be very interested in knowing what `obsolete' means to you.
Being easy to use?  Watching television doesn't make reading and
writing obsolete.  Being wide spread?  Millions of motor scooters
don't make Harley Davidsons obsolete.

Things have their place.  Lots of people wouldn't trade the CLI for a
GUI if you paid them to, and rightly so.  If your preference goes to
GUI, that's fine, and there's no need to justify it with
(questionable) arguments about other means.
