Oh, sure, I never disputed that. Indeed I tried browsing the web with
lynx (text mode) and went back to iceweasel; there are indeed
situations
where a GUI is necessary. I can do GUIs with GtkAda, too, but I've
never
had the need in my personal projects (in my work I do a lot of GtkAda
though). And if someone would ask my advice on web design, my advice
would probably not be what they want to hear :)
PS. For file management, I rely on the command line and emacs dired.
PPS. In GtkAda, you should have a look at testgtk which is an extended
example showing all GTK+ widgets.
