Command-line anyone?

Here's the meme you need for those times when another dev says you don't need the command-line any more: http://raddev.us/images/cp/noCommandLine.png[^] The command-line, console, command prompt, dos prompt whatever you want to call it, will live forever! :laugh:
I'm building Windows 10 images for our new model of industrial PC's we're going to be using. You ought see some of the novel-length command lines you have to type in to do this stuff.

Last time I had to work with the command line was to maintain a Linux server. It was wonderful what it was possible to do in a single line. Anyway, I prefer not using it, but given the kind of work I do I almost never use it.

What's a command line? The CTO of my last company also refused to use an IDE. Granted, he used Sublime for text editing, but everything he did was command line. His refusal to use an IDE was one of the reasons I left. The others were his ADHD, his arrogance, his stupidity, and his inability to meet his own deadlines to vague promises of functionality. I'm surprised I didn't come out of that experience hating Python.

I'm still lamenting the disappearance of the front panel switches from computers[^] It's far too easy to turn computers on nowadays. :sigh:
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay... AntiTwitter: @DalekDave is now a follower!

Nailed it!! The console is pervasive. :laugh:
This would be a whole lot easier if there was a GUI wrapped around it. It's easy to believe that there isn't one, however. Each major build of Windows changes the options available, and there are a lot of them.

Ah, yes, the two camps. All console or all GUI. Maybe a bit of the Golden Hammer philosophy from both sides. However, I'm not saying "only console". I'm just saying there are still some things you have to have command line for. Let's be balanced here, devs. Oh, wait, devs are not the best at balance are we? :laugh: With our language and technology wars. :)

Be happy, MS have promised this is the ultimate windows and there won't be more. At least your problem with diversity is solved :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Yes, if it were done right. However, have you ever used IIS InetMgr in on Windows 2008 and beyond? To change things in the interface there are times (to edit the applicationHost.config) that you are seriously 10 popup windows deep. For that we used the command-line provided tool AppCmd which is quite cryptic but better than 10 popup windows. :)
