Unless it's something I can't do in text-only mode, like watching YouTube videos, I try to do everything from my terminal. I'd rather type than point and click. It's just so much easier to type something than to have to search through a complex system of menus and button bars to find a command.
Life's too short to be cool. Be a nerd.
