  2. Speed is not always the most important metric. We find Linux users using speed as an argument in favour of Linux and terminal usage. I would argue that ease of use and the self-documenting nature of a good GUI, and the look and feel of such, is more important.

This is why I prefer Windows over Linux. It is also why I preferred the Amiga in the 80s over DOS. A few seconds saved isn't significant in the bigger picture.
