Of course I understand that. I've also shown a bunch of command line
addicts at work how I was more productive on a variety of task than
them, using my trusty file manager. That's not the point. I also use
the command line a lot for another variety of tasks that my trusty
file manager is less suite for.

I specified "let's consider someone new to Perl, without prior
investment", and - my mistake - I should have added, "someone without
such heavy prior investment in command-line that they're simply
reluctant to use an IDE".

But indeed, this is a religious issue, and putting oneself with heavy
prior investment in the shoes of someone without prior investment, may
be hard.
