Maybe you should take the "One month GUI challenge" :), I wrote this for folks who are just getting started I believe that once knlowing the CLI gives you some confidence about uour computer and sets you up for easier learning in the future.

A "one month GUI challenge" would be interesting ... I'm not sure I could do it though. Would we exclude interactions with remote servers? If I use a GUI editor to create Ansible playbooks that are run against a server farm, that feels a bit like cheating.

The example in your article was great (sort) - what other tools can't you live without on the CLI? Here are a few of my favorites:

- unique - sed - grep - wc
