Using Linux file management GUIs can be a disaster. Some years ago, I was massaging many GiB of text, using a crude hack, with scripts that did grep, sed, awk, etc. And I had many working directories with >10^4 tiny files each (maybe 10^5 even).
In terminal, everything was fine. But opening a GUI would swap out so much that the box would freeze. I don't know why. I just learned to avoid doing it.
Heh, that's fine, I don't mind the terminal or the GUI, as long as you're rationally using either and aren't blaming either for your problems. I see a lot of "I only use the terminal" type of people who screw up GUIs and the reverse can be said, GUI users who screw up the terminal, it's all about RTFM'ing sometimes, or just reading what's right in front of you.
