I'm aware of existance of this technology(TM).  However, it doesn't have
any value *for me*.  Thus, I'm not wasting time for leisure purposes.

Because of above mentioned lack of value, I can't judge personaly what
that means.  But, I see, it's impressive.  At least for you.

However, it should be mentioned, somehow I doubt it would impress me.

And now I have an epiphany to regurgitate, thank you very much.  Here it
comes.

Gui-people and termianl-people (it's not exactly like this, but it's
clearest separation I can make on spot;  config-people?) are two
distinct tribes (or religions, if I may).

Terminal-people are looking for The Perfect Environment (for unspecified
reasons).  But environment they've got isn't perfect.  What leads to
correcting configs, looking and asking for (and eventual reading)
documentation, digging up configs and tools, and then accepting
marginally satisfing state of one component of The Perfect Environment.
Then something changes deep inside and all that house of cards falls
apart.  However it should be mentioned, sometimes tools of marginal
utility are produced.

Gui-people are looking for The Perfect Environment (for unspecified
reasons).  But environment they stumble at at first isn't perfect.  What
leads to checking buttons, fiddling with gauges, looking and asking for
opinions, and digging up alternative environments.  Then one day comes
realization that this one isn't The Perfect Environment anymore (because
it's too lively (and goes weird) or dies).  Time has come to declare
something else The Perfect Environment (at least for now).  However it
should be mentioned, sometimes tools of marginal utility are selected
and otherwise exposed (to terminal-people).

Shortly, when distinction is religious in nature, no amount (or value)
of arguments could possibly swing opponent or impress undecided (there's
no such thing as "undecided", decision has been made already it hasn't
been realized yet).
