IMHO this is how computers were meant to be used. The whole desktop environment thing has added too many layers of abstraction from the heart of computing.

I understand why everyone doesn't exclusively use console desktops, but it makes me a little sad to see so few people that do.

I use X but not a desktop environment; I mostly use xterm and the command shell for many things. I do use many of the programs mentioned there, including "mail", "calendar", etc.

I do use computers to create graphics, say, a layout for a brochure to be printed. This type of work is best created with a GUI/WIMP interface.
