You don't think Pd is a gui?

Also, what about if you have a directory full of 100s of mp3s and you want to selectively go through the list only deleting certain ones. For me it's quicker to use a graphical filebrowser and select the ones you want to delete using the mouse - far less keystrokes than typing rm filename.mp3 each time. Other operations i find it quicker to use the command line.

Use the right tool for the right job.

Chris.
