Gui vs Core
I have been doing this for many years and i thought the whole ideal to adding the Gui was to make things easier and more error proof. I agree that some things especially adding large groups of data are much better suited to command prompt and power shell but day to day tasks and single use items are much easier and much more error proof in the Gui. Some of the best IT people I know are their own worst enemies when it comes to making changes outside the Gui. There is no feedback or display of what you have just done and tracking it down later can be a real pain in the butt. I work with many products other than servers that programming is done on a single line or command prompt type basis and the introduction of a gui or multiline progamming interface has always ended up being much more efficient and time saving in the end. It has been my experience in trouble shooting and fixing things that Ego tends to be the biggest problem as there is no way i did anything wrong has to be something else and many hours of time get wasted that way. Command prompt and power shell both seem to be more for the Ego based mentality as they tend to be the people that have the attitude that I can do it better this way then some sillyGui and they do not seem to understand that the Gui helps so much with the feedback you get from it that you are much better at your job using it then not. I feel that trying to not use the Gui is like taking a step backward. When security issues warrent it I understand the practicality of using a Core installation but otherwise I feel the Gui is way more helpful then it is detrimental
