I know many people who avoid buying the Mac for just this reason. Not very surprisingly, some people can type specific functions faster than they can implement them using a mouse etc. (Special function keys using the 'squiggly' marked key don't count. They take to long to fingure out or remember for the people to whom I'm referring. If you have to use the mouse to read the menu bar, it has already taken too long. Most of these friends of mine would prefer an IBM or compatible for that reason.) I prefer to use the CLI myself as many commands in AMIGADOS are quite flexible when used from the CLI.
