I would second that considering all windows programs are gui's.  Is this true
of win95?  I think most so called "power" users if they haven't gone to os/2 
or
one of the freeware unix's have moved to NT.
Back to os/2 though.  If you compare the windows text editor notepad with the
os/2 counter part epm you can appreciate the different attitude IBM has for 
its
users.  Tedit compared to the ms edit and its a very similar comparison.
