cheath, Yes, I understand from a developers view you may wish to use the CLI. What got me started on this was…my older brother owns a Mac. He is a graduate student in electrical eng. and progrmming. I used a product on his Mac called LightSpeed C, a C compiler that has no competition in it's market. The way it uses an integrated interface to compile, link, edit, add or create libraries,etc.. makes me wonder why there are command line interfaces to begin with! For speed and ease of use, THERE IS NO COMPARISON! For a user who wishes to learn a language, a compiler like that would get them learning in no time. I guess what I'm trying to say is this…I am a user and wish to be a developer, the CLI is nice for those accustomed to it but I feel as if Intuition should be used more than CLI and that just doesn't seem to be the case in the marketplace.
