Harry Binswanger:

Tell your friend that some people like menus and others like command
lines. There are even some (like myself) who prefer command lines but
find menus work much better for doing certain things. The good thing
about XY (and even more, XW, since one does not expect it in a WinDoze
program) is that you can take your choice. If you don't want anything
but the command line, you don't even have to load the dialogs, help
file, etc., which leaves you with a lean, quick-loading, and very fast
word processor. Try that with the Big Three!
