I do not agree with the part about the advantages of CLI's. Consistence is not an advantage of CLI's over GUI. It is an advantage over carefully designed (as said here) CLI's over uncarefully designed GUI's.
In my opinion the biggest advantage of a CLI's is that it can become a second language. If I want a calendar in my CLI, I just type calendar instead of moving my mouse to the start button, clicking, looking where the item programs is, moving my mouse there, then find and move to accesoires then find and move to calendar (assuming you have a calendar there).

At least one person also calls it a CLUE, for Command Line User Environment.
That sentence is a bit odd, anybody want to explain it? Why At least one person? Edward 13:16, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- The Linux Documentation Project's Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide (http://www.tldp.org/guides.html#intro-linux) uses the acronym CLUE in the opening section. I'm pretty sure there have been others as well. grendel|khan 16:13, 2004 Jun 4 (UTC)
- Yes "at least one person calls it..." just looks weird - I'll change it to "It is occasionally called..." I think. - IMSoP 13:12, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Command Shell monad won't be ready for inclusion in Longhorn, guys...
