What exactly don't you understand about it? For me it's the single most
frequently used environment, I can do more things and do them faster than in
any other way. What is there about it not to understand?
Then, I don't mind alt-tabbing either. I do mind, however, the amount of it.
I have multiple terminals open and I operate at the limit of my abilities to
manage them. With a separate GUI window, I would either have one more window
to switch through (and thus I would be over my limit) or have one terminal
less to execute commands.

A workflow thing. I don't understand people running GUI for version control,
or GUI for simply opening a file in a directory tree, yet people do that all
the time.
