I simply write a script (which is a text file, of sorts :-) to 
encapsulate the stuff I do rarely. I don't necessarily run the script, 
but use it, like you do, for reference.

As to GUI's being quicker, well it depends. I don't think any GUI email 
interface is as quick at dealing with mail as mutt or pine. And I find 
filemanagers (even command line ones, like midnight commander) clunky 
and slow. In fact my X session doesn't even run a filemanager or have 
one configured. If you always use GUI's then you are sort of locked out 
of scripting for those frequent repetative jobs.

Leave GUI's for graphical stuff, like gimp, dia, qgis etc. Although I 
have been known to make use of imagemagick for image manipulation, but 
only when I needed to do the same thing to many images. But then, maybe 
I am a masochist :-)
