Not at all James. What I am saying is that if not done with proper thought, the
WorkBench could end up being worse than useless as an interface. Perhaps we
need yet another metaphor. There could be a novice user interface smilar to WB
as it is now, a more powerful version for those that want the power of a CLI,
and a CLI for those that want things the authors of the above did not
anticipate, or for which mice and icons are inappropriate.
I don't know why people aren't looking at the CLI as just another application
that can be run from WB, because that's exactly what it is.
