Being able to choose is a good thing. Use what works for you. I prefer the terminal, but not as hard core as switching to a TTY and never see a GUI again...

If you look at many of the ‘user stories’ in this thread (and others), you see a lot of people using vi/vim not because they decided to try it, but because they had no real choice. Very often it’s the only usable option on a Unix-like machine.

And yet, you don’t see many people bemoaning the choice. Despite being forced to use it, once people are over the fabled learning curve they tend to like it.
