But you are doing the thing I say to do. You are not contradicting me. 
You are running terminals in a GUI. Using CLI editors or GUI editors 
doesn't matter. I also use CLI editors, and the command line a lot.

What I refuse to do is use the console unless I need to. Console, not 
terminal. Different thing. Console is the text mode display.

I saw someone at uni using a GUI desktop to edit files in 1987 or 
thereabouts. One window for the editor, and another for the program he 
was testing. Another terminal for something else. At the time, I only 
had MsDOS. I was astonished.
